This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.
GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Results by check
Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
How this score is calculated
The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49
Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.
The certificate is not trusted by browsers
The website is not served over HTTPS
A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
The page loads a script from a compromised source
The domain registration has expired
SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain
Partial scans
When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The website serves as the official digital presence for Bielefeld's city marketing efforts, providing a centralized platform for event promotion, tourist services, and local commerce. Its partnerships with related domains such as bielefeld-marketing.de and bielefeld-convention.de indicate a well-integrated marketing ecosystem. The business model focuses on promoting local tourism and culture, with revenue streams likely from event ticketing, souvenir sales, and partnerships. The target audience includes local residents, visitors, families, and students, with content tailored to diverse interests including culture, nature, and shopping. The site’s consistent branding and comprehensive content support its market position as a trusted city marketing authority.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and standard security headers like HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms respect user privacy and allow opt-in for tracking technologies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and readiness for security incidents. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and incident response information.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Enhance transparency by adding terms of service and more detailed privacy notices.
Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern and widely supported technology stack including Drupal CMS and Bootstrap for responsive design. It uses Matomo Analytics for privacy-friendly tracking and Facebook Pixel for marketing insights, integrated with a robust cookie consent framework. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with canonical and shortlink tags, mobile optimization, and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and deferred loading of scripts. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were observed in the provided HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation of security and privacy practices.
Standards and sources
Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
