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

Markt Ebensfeld operates as a municipal government entity serving the local community in the Landkreis Lichtenfels region of Germany. The website provides comprehensive information about local government services, tourism, and community resources, targeting residents and visitors. The business model focuses on public service delivery and digital citizen engagement through online portals and information dissemination. The site is positioned as an official government resource with trust indicators such as the Kommunales IT-Siegel and links to official Bavarian government portals. Technically, the website is built on the Weblication CMS platform, employing standard web technologies with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, it lacks advanced technical frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure, but it lacks security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 serves as the digital face of Markt Ebensfeld, a small municipal government entity. Its market positioning is local and essential, focusing on providing public services and information to citizens and tourists. Competitive advantages include a dedicated online citizen service portal and official certifications like the Kommunales IT-Siegel. Revenue streams are typical for government entities, relying on public funding rather than commercial activities. The target customer segments are local residents, businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include digitalization efforts such as online service offerings and broadband expansion information. The partnership ecosystem includes links to regional and state government portals and local organizations. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital transformation and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security issues. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalizing policies and improving technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve services.

Notes

The website is built on the Weblication CMS platform, using standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The site is mobile responsive and has a consistent design and navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided HTML. The technical stack is basic without modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced backend technologies visible.

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.
