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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Freiwillige Feuerwehr Albstadt operates as a government/non-profit entity focused on public safety and emergency services. Their market position is local and essential, providing critical fire and rescue services. The business model is service-oriented without commercial revenue streams. The website supports community engagement through educational content and youth programs. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The organization maintains a consistent brand and clear messaging aligned with its mission. Growth indicators or founding year are not explicitly stated. The website ecosystem includes links to related local services but no external commercial partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and a cookie consent mechanism is in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an older Bootstrap version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy policy and data protection officer contact. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be improved.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Upgrade Bootstrap and other libraries to latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  6. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  7. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS platform using jQuery 3.6.3 and Bootstrap 3.3.7 for UI components. Additional libraries include SweetAlert2 for alerts, Venobox for lightbox functionality, Slick Carousel for sliders, and Fancybox for media display. The site is hosted with DomainControl nameservers and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts and CSS files loaded. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta description and Open Graph image tags present. Accessibility is basic with some font size controls and contrast options but lacks advanced ARIA or semantic enhancements. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
