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

Dataport is a large German IT service provider specializing in digital transformation and IT operations for public administration, serving federal states, municipalities, and citizens. The company offers a broad portfolio including consulting, software development, data centers, and strategic IT services, positioning itself as a key enabler of digital sovereignty and public sector innovation. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, targeting public sector stakeholders and citizens with a focus on transparency and accessibility. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which severely impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive cookie consent and GDPR-aligned policies. The company demonstrates trustworthiness through certifications like ISO 27001 and clear contact channels. Overall, while the business and content maturity are high, the lack of HTTPS is a critical risk that must be addressed immediately to protect user data 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

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 in the government sector as an essential IT service provider, focusing on digital transformation for public administration. Its business model revolves around providing end-to-end IT services from consulting to secure IT operations and product development. The company leverages open source and innovative technologies such as AI to enhance public sector efficiency. It maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including its subsidiary dataport.kommunal, and operates dedicated portals for careers and customer support. The company targets government entities and citizens, emphasizing digital sovereignty and secure data handling. Growth indicators include active newsrooms, thematic focus on AI and cloud, and a comprehensive service portfolio. The presence of certifications and strict DMARC policies reflect a mature operational security culture.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is currently low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. DNS configurations show valid SPF and strict DMARC policies, reducing email spoofing risks. However, malformed CAA records and missing security headers indicate gaps in DNS and HTTP security hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, which could limit rapid response to security events. The site uses Matomo analytics with cookie consent, aligning with privacy best practices. Overall, the security posture requires urgent improvements in transport security and header configurations to meet modern standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately 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 insecure protocols to protect data in transit.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) with preload and includeSubDomains.
  4. Correct the malformed CAA DNS records to valid entries to control certificate issuance.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response readiness.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance transparency by providing explicit incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  8. Maintain and communicate clear data retention policies and privacy practices to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  9. Continue to improve accessibility and mobile optimization to enhance user experience.
  10. Leverage trust indicators such as certifications and customer testimonials more prominently to boost business credibility.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Foundation framework, and Magnific Popup for UI components. It uses Matomo for analytics with cookie-based tracking and consent management. DNS is managed via INWX nameservers with valid SPF and DMARC records, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance is moderate to slow with a page load time of approximately 5.8 seconds and a page size of 251 KB. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, supported by ARIA roles and responsive design. However, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses multiple JavaScript libraries and gzip compressed CSS and JS assets, indicating some optimization efforts. Hosting provider details are inferred from DNS but not explicitly stated. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
