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

The Deutscher Tourismuspreis website is a professionally maintained platform operated by the Deutscher Tourismusverband e.V., a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting innovation in the German tourism sector. The site serves as the official portal for the annual tourism award, providing information on competition criteria, current news, and partner organizations. It targets tourism professionals and stakeholders interested in innovative tourism projects within Germany. The business model revolves around organizing and promoting the award to foster sustainable and creative tourism solutions. Technically, the website is built on the Tramino CMS platform, utilizing standard web technologies such as jQuery, CSS, and JavaScript. It is hosted on Schlund Technologies servers and employs HTTPS with a consent management system for GDPR compliance. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with clear navigation and consistent branding. SEO practices are adequately implemented, and social media integration supports marketing efforts. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers in the HTML source. No direct security policies or incident response contacts are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The site does not expose sensitive data and appears free from obvious vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adding security headers and explicit policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site presenting a trustworthy and professional image aligned with its non-profit mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure ongoing compliance and security.

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

8 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 Deutscher Tourismuspreis holds a strong market position as Germany's leading tourism innovation award, backed by the Deutscher Tourismusverband e.V. Its competitive advantage lies in its established reputation, transparent award process, and partnerships with prominent organizations such as ADAC, Airbnb, and Deutsche Bahn. The business model is non-profit, focusing on promoting innovative tourism projects and fostering collaboration within the tourism sector. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships and partnerships. The target customer segments are tourism businesses, project developers, and industry stakeholders interested in innovation and sustainability. Growth indicators include the longevity of the award (21 years) and active engagement through news updates and social media. The partnership ecosystem enhances credibility and outreach, supporting the organization's strategic goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Compliance gaps include the lack of published security policies and incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and readiness. Data protection practices are evident through consent management but could be enhanced by publishing a dedicated security policy. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. The security culture appears focused on privacy compliance but could benefit from broader security communication and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external content.
  4. Enhance data protection measures by clearly documenting data retention policies and user rights beyond cookie consent.
  5. Promote security awareness internally and externally by providing contact channels for security incidents and vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tramino CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and standard web technologies. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a reputable German hosting provider. The site uses HTTPS with canonical URLs and includes meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social media sharing. Performance is moderate with some deferred content loading and animations. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The consent management system is robust, supporting granular cookie preferences. Technical risks include the lack of visible security headers and reliance on third-party scripts for tracking and video embedding. Modernization opportunities include upgrading to newer JavaScript frameworks 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.
