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

The website is a government-operated login portal for managing funding applications and grants in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region of Germany. It provides a secure authentication mechanism via the 'profil' system, allowing users to access and manage their funding online. The portal is targeted at applicants and stakeholders involved in regional funding programs, serving as a digital gateway for government services. Technically, the site uses standard HTML5 and JavaScript with a simple, functional design focused on login functionality. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level and includes accessibility features such as keyboard navigation and password visibility toggling. However, SEO optimization is minimal, and no advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and a POST method for login forms, but lacks visible security headers and CSRF protections. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. The WHOIS data aligns with regional network infrastructure, supporting legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, indicating full accessibility. Overall, the site is functional and moderately secure but would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy compliance improvements, and richer metadata. The risk level is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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

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 portal serves as a critical digital interface for government funding management in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, positioning itself as an essential service for regional economic development. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on providing secure and efficient access to funding resources. The target audience includes businesses, non-profits, and individuals seeking government grants. The portal's integration with the 'profil' authentication system suggests a broader ecosystem of government digital services. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and improving user experience. Partnerships likely include regional IT infrastructure providers such as mvnet.de. The portal's market position is stable within the government sector, with limited direct competition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure login form practices such as password masking and visibility toggling. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of CSRF tokens represent areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML, and no vulnerable libraries are detected. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Incorporate CSRF tokens in all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
  4. Provide visible contact information and security incident response channels.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and accessibility features to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with HTML5 and JavaScript, focusing on login functionality. The password visibility toggle is a positive usability feature. The site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms, indicating a custom or minimalistic implementation. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. SEO is limited due to 'noindex, nofollow' meta tags and minimal metadata. No external analytics or tracking scripts are present, reducing privacy concerns but also limiting usage insights. Hosting details are not explicit but WHOIS name servers suggest regional infrastructure. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and SEO.
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.
