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

Dataport is a leading IT service provider specializing in digital transformation for public administration in Germany. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio including consulting, project management, data centers, software development, and IT products tailored for government entities. Positioned as a key partner for federal states and municipalities, Dataport emphasizes digital sovereignty, security, and innovation, leveraging open source technologies and AI to enhance public sector services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive content targeting public sector stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and Foundation. While the site is mobile-optimized and accessible, performance is suboptimal with a high load time. Critically, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, exposing it to security risks and undermining user trust. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS, lack of HSTS, and no OCSP stapling, despite the organization holding ISO 27001 certification. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism. Contact information is comprehensive, including multiple phone numbers, emails, and contact forms. Overall, Dataport's website demonstrates strong business credibility and privacy compliance but suffers from critical security configuration issues that should be addressed urgently to protect users and maintain trust.

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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

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

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

Dataport operates as an essential IT service provider within the German public sector, focusing on digital transformation for government agencies and municipalities. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offerings, including consulting, infrastructure, software development, and specialized IT products, combined with a strong emphasis on digital sovereignty and open source solutions. The company targets public administration entities, supporting them in complying with regulations like the Onlinezugangsgesetz and leveraging emerging technologies such as AI. Revenue streams likely include service contracts with federal states and municipalities, software licensing, and managed IT services. The presence of a dedicated career portal and subsidiary brand dataport.kommunal indicates organizational scale and diversification. Partnerships and social media presence enhance market reach and brand visibility. The company’s ISO 27001 certification signals a commitment to information security, which is critical in the public sector. Strategically, Dataport is positioned to capitalize on increasing digitalization demands in government, with growth potential in AI and cloud services. However, the website’s technical and security shortcomings may impact user confidence and operational efficiency if not remediated.

Security posture

Dataport’s security maturity shows a mixed picture. The organization holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating formalized information security management practices. However, the website itself lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, does not support HTTPS, and has no modern TLS protocols enabled, which are fundamental security requirements. The absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption further weakens the security posture. No critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, POODLE, or subdomain takeover were detected, and no sensitive data exposure was observed in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, while organizational security frameworks appear strong, the website’s technical security configuration is inadequate and poses risks to data confidentiality and integrity. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and HTTPS implementation is recommended to align the website’s security posture with the company’s certified standards.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols to improve encryption security.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and user trust.
  6. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance accessibility features and continue maintaining comprehensive privacy and cookie compliance.
  9. Promote security culture internally and externally by showcasing security best practices and certifications.
  10. Develop a long-term security strategy that includes continuous monitoring, penetration testing, and compliance audits.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and the Foundation framework for responsive design. It uses Magnific Popup for modal dialogs and Yoast SEO for TYPO3 to optimize search engine visibility. The site includes structured data in JSON-LD format and Open Graph metadata for social sharing. Performance is suboptimal with a load time exceeding 20 seconds and a large number of resources (174) totaling over 300 KB. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with features like ARIA labels and responsive images. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical technical deficiency. Security headers are missing or not detected, and no advanced TLS features are enabled. The DNS configuration shows no DNSSEC and incomplete CAA records. Overall, the technical infrastructure is mature but requires urgent security upgrades and performance optimization to meet modern standards and user expectations.
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.
