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

The eCohesion-Portal Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a government-operated web platform designed to facilitate electronic communication and data exchange between funding recipients and regional authorities or intermediaries. It primarily supports the management of approved funding projects within the region, co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. The portal itself does not process data but serves as a communication interface, targeting regional stakeholders involved in funding processes. Technically, the website employs a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 5.1.3, jQuery, and Popper.js, ensuring responsive design and usability. The site implements a Content-Security-Policy header with restrictive directives, although the use of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' weakens its security posture. No analytics or tracking technologies are detected, aligning with privacy-conscious government standards. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a minor compliance gap given GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the portal benefits from HTTPS and partial security header implementation but could improve by tightening CSP rules and adding additional headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analyzed content. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the regional government entity. Overall, the portal presents a trustworthy, professional, and functional government service with moderate technical sophistication and a good security baseline. Strategic improvements in security headers and privacy compliance would enhance its posture and user 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.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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 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 portal serves a niche government function within Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, providing a digital communication channel for managing EU-funded regional development projects. Its market position is stable as a regional government service with no direct commercial competition. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on facilitating administrative processes rather than revenue generation. The target audience includes funding recipients, government agencies, and authorized intermediaries. The platform benefits from EU co-financing, which supports its operational sustainability. Partnerships appear limited to regional network providers and government entities. Growth potential is tied to regional funding programs and digital government initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header in place. However, the inclusion of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' weakens the CSP effectiveness and could expose the site to cross-site scripting risks. The absence of additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating a potential gap in security transparency. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may also pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational portal but should be enhanced to meet higher assurance levels.

Recommendations

  1. Remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' from the Content-Security-Policy to strengthen protection against XSS attacks.
  2. Implement additional security headers including Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure process to enhance trust and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 5.1.3 and jQuery libraries, ensuring responsive design and compatibility. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external dependencies detected. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and semantic HTML present but no advanced accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with a descriptive title and meta charset but no Open Graph or structured data markup. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but DNS name servers indicate regional network infrastructure. No CMS or backend technologies are discernible from the front-end content.
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.
