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

The website www.fichtelgebirge.bayern serves as a comprehensive regional tourism portal for the Fichtelgebirge region in Bavaria, Germany. It provides extensive information on accommodation, nature, culture, culinary offerings, and health-related activities, targeting tourists, families, and outdoor enthusiasts. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, reflecting a strong regional identity and consistent messaging. The business model focuses on promoting tourism and facilitating accommodation bookings, positioning itself as a key regional information hub. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery UI, FontAwesome Pro, and Slick Carousel. It integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking and uses CookieFirst for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate and could benefit from further optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and a security.txt file. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for such regional websites, and no suspicious patterns were found. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and incident response information. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website appearing trustworthy and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding a security.txt file, and providing clearer security contact information to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website operates as a regional tourism authority platform, promoting the Fichtelgebirge region's natural, cultural, and hospitality offerings. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive content, multi-language support, and integration with social media channels. The business model is primarily informational and promotional, with revenue likely derived from accommodation bookings and regional partnerships. Target customers include tourists, families, and outdoor activity enthusiasts. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and cookie consent providers. The company appears to maintain a focused regional presence without evident subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via a reputable third-party service, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could be improved by formalizing incident response and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response communication.
  3. Provide explicit security and incident response contact information on the website to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Optimize website performance to improve loading times and user experience, particularly on mobile devices.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It uses modern front-end libraries such as jQuery UI and Slick Carousel for UI components and interactivity. FontAwesome Pro provides iconography, enhancing visual appeal. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor analytics, and CookieFirst manages cookie consent, supporting GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization in asset loading and caching. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
