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

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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 website positions itself as a key player in the hospitality and tourism sector for Düsseldorf, leveraging official city branding and partnerships with local health marketing and souvenir shop domains. Its business model revolves around providing tourism information and facilitating bookings for tours, events, and accommodations. The platform serves a medium-sized audience of tourists and visitors, with clear contact channels and a professional content strategy. The partnership ecosystem includes health tourism and retail souvenir services, enhancing the overall visitor experience. Growth indicators include multilingual support and active social media presence on LinkedIn.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and bot protection via hCaptcha. Consent management is implemented through Usercentrics, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers like CSP or HSTS indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a tourism website but could be strengthened with formal policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance security transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain high standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses the Neos CMS built on the Flow PHP framework, indicating a modern and flexible content management system. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site integrates third-party services such as Usercentrics for consent management, hCaptcha for bot mitigation, and Localize for multilingual support. JavaScript bundles and lazy loading images optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Some legacy or commented-out scripts suggest ongoing development. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust with opportunities to enhance security headers and formal policies.
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.
