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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…

  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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fahrgastforum.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for fahrgastforum.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 a communication channel between public transport users and service providers in Sachsen-Anhalt. It leverages partnerships with related domains such as mein-takt.de, nasa.de, and insa.de, indicating a collaborative ecosystem in regional transport services. The business model centers on community feedback and information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication flow primarily via web forms. The site maintains a good level of privacy compliance and transparency through detailed cookie consent and privacy policy links.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and uses Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management, reflecting a solid privacy and security baseline. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. Analytics tracking is moderate and privacy-conscious, using Piwik (Matomo) with anonymized data collection. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in security transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails or phone numbers for support and security contacts.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good accessibility. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, and Piwik (Matomo) is used for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tools. Hosting is via domaincontrol.com nameservers, a common provider. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site includes meta tags for SEO and Open Graph descriptions for social sharing. No broken links or errors were observed in the provided content. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve incident response documentation.
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.
