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

The website www.enzkreis.de serves as the official online presence of the Landratsamt Enzkreis, a local government authority in Germany. It provides a broad range of public services, information about administrative departments, events, and digital services tailored for residents and businesses within the Enzkreis district. The site demonstrates a well-organized structure with clear navigation and multilingual support, enhancing accessibility and user experience. Technically, the website employs a mix of established JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Mustache.js, alongside custom scripts for responsive design and accessibility features. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-compliant privacy policy indicates a mature approach to privacy and data protection. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks explicit HTTP security headers and a public security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. WHOIS data aligns with the website's governmental nature, reinforcing legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional government portal with room for improvement in security headers and transparency around incident response. Strategic enhancements in these areas would further strengthen its security 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.

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. 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

  2. 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

Landratsamt Enzkreis operates as a government entity providing essential administrative and citizen services for the Enzkreis district in Germany. Its market position is that of a local authority with a stable and essential role in public administration. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering information, digital forms, event updates, and departmental contacts to the public. The target audience includes residents, local businesses, and public sector stakeholders. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and comprehensive content coverage. Partnerships appear limited to service providers like Advantic GmbH for design and hosting-related domains. Growth indicators are not explicit but the digital presence suggests ongoing modernization efforts.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack scenarios. There is no publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The presence of a data protection officer page indicates compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the security posture is solid for a government website but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no known vulnerabilities are present.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of contact information for security and privacy concerns to build user trust.
  5. Consider performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, Mustache.js, and custom scripts for responsive design and accessibility. The CMS appears to be a proprietary or custom solution (ikiss_basic references). External services include ReadSpeaker for accessibility and Conword for translation. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive navigation menu (Slicknav). Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading times. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but the absence of modern frameworks or CMS platforms suggests room for modernization. Hosting details are not explicit but name servers point to advantic.net, likely a professional hosting provider.
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.
