0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Coburger Entsorgungs- und Baubetrieb CEB is a municipal service provider focused on maintaining and improving the infrastructure of Coburg, Germany. Their key services include waste management, street cleaning, wastewater treatment, and winter road services. The website targets local citizens and newcomers, providing comprehensive information and easy access to forms and service details. The business operates as a medium-sized government entity with a clear regional focus. Technically, the website uses a standard Bootstrap and jQuery stack with Google Fonts, offering a responsive and user-friendly experience. While the site is moderately optimized for performance and accessibility, there is room for improvement in SEO and security headers. The presence of a cookie consent banner and a detailed privacy policy indicates good privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented basic privacy measures. However, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. The contact form includes privacy consent but could benefit from anti-CSRF protections. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and suitable for its public service role. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and technical modernization would enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

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.

Priority findings

7 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.

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

CEB holds a strong position as a regional government service provider in Coburg, delivering essential infrastructure and environmental services. Its business model revolves around public service with revenue likely derived from municipal funding and service fees. The company targets local residents and businesses requiring waste disposal, street maintenance, and water management. The website reflects a stable operational environment with partnerships linked to local government and utility providers. Growth indicators are not explicit but the comprehensive service offering and digital presence suggest a mature organization focused on community engagement and service quality.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is in use, and privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie banner and privacy policy. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and anti-CSRF tokens in forms indicates potential vulnerabilities. The commented-out analytics script suggests privacy awareness but also a lack of active monitoring. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could delay response to security events. Overall, the site is secure enough for public informational use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add anti-CSRF tokens to all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Bootstrap framework with jQuery and Google Fonts, providing a responsive and modern UI. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. The site lacks a CMS or advanced platform indicators, suggesting a custom or lightweight CMS solution. Hosting details are not disclosed, but DNS uses dacor.de name servers. The site could improve by adopting modern JavaScript frameworks, implementing progressive web app features, and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
