Risk levelLow

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

The Stadt Dinslaken website serves as the official digital presence of the city of Dinslaken, Germany, providing a broad range of municipal services, cultural information, and community engagement resources. It targets residents, visitors, and businesses, offering online service portals, event information, and contact points for city administration. The site is well-branded and professionally maintained, reflecting the city's identity and public service mission. Technically, the website is built on the Drupal CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and cookie consent management tools to ensure GDPR compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Analytics are implemented via eTracker, with user tracking balanced by privacy considerations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit HTTP security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the official city infrastructure, confirming legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers and publishing formal security policies to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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.

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

Stadt Dinslaken operates as a municipal government entity providing essential public services and community engagement. Its market position is that of a regional government authority with a focus on citizen services, tourism, and cultural promotion. The business model centers on public administration and digital service delivery. Key competitive advantages include comprehensive online service portals and active community involvement. The partnership ecosystem includes regional service providers and survey platforms. Growth indicators are tied to digital transformation initiatives and community outreach programs.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie management. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly available, which could limit rapid response to security events. Data protection practices are aligned with GDPR, but formal security documentation is lacking. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve user experience, especially on mobile devices.

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.
