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.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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.

Not counted

  • 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.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The portal operates as a government information hub, promoting Bremen's cultural, tourism, and civic offerings. Its business model is public service oriented, focusing on information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The site integrates with multiple partner domains related to Bremen's administration and community services, enhancing its ecosystem. The target audience includes local citizens, tourists, and businesses interested in Bremen's events and services. The presence of accessibility features and multilingual options indicates a commitment to inclusivity. The portal's market position is strong as the official digital face of the city, supported by WFB Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen GmbH. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with social media channels. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to various official and community sites.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reputable DNS and CDN providers, and implementation of cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. The site uses Matomo analytics with minimal user tracking, enhancing privacy. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly visible in the HTML. Overall, the site balances security and usability well but could improve transparency around security governance and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Ensure all security headers are explicitly set and documented for transparency.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, notably Vue.js, and employs Matomo for analytics and Cookiebot for cookie management. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and alternative language options. Performance is fast with preloading of CSS and JavaScript assets. The technical implementation follows best practices with proper meta tags, canonical URLs, and structured navigation. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The site uses external media hosting for images and videos, enhancing load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and well-maintained.
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.
