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

5 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

    • 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

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

Göttingen Marketing GmbH positions itself as a key local marketing entity supporting the Göttingen city center's retail and hospitality sectors. The business model revolves around promoting local shops, gastronomy, and cultural events, enhancing the city's attractiveness. The website acts as a digital hub for information dissemination, gift voucher programs, and public services. Partnerships with local tourism and city information sites strengthen its ecosystem. The company targets local consumers and tourists, leveraging a mix of content marketing and event promotion to drive engagement. The absence of direct e-commerce suggests a focus on marketing rather than sales facilitation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, use of Usercentrics for cookie consent, and no exposed sensitive data. Security headers appear to be implemented or likely present. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response plan, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism such as security.txt. The use of third-party scripts like eTracker and Usercentrics is managed with consent mechanisms, aligning with privacy regulations. Regular updates and monitoring of plugins and scripts are recommended to maintain security integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly if any are missing or incomplete.
  5. Maintain and update cookie and privacy consent mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor page builder, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, Leaflet, and Mapbox GL for interactive maps and UI components. The hosting is managed via INWX nameservers, indicating a stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup for organization, website, local business, and navigation elements. The site uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and eTracker for analytics, balancing user privacy with data insights. Opportunities exist to optimize loading speed and further modernize the tech stack.
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.
