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

The website www.fraenkische-schweiz.com serves as the official tourism portal for the Fränkische Schweiz region in Bavaria, Germany. It provides comprehensive information on activities, accommodations, gastronomy, and events, targeting tourists and vacationers interested in this historic and scenic area. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and optimized for mobile devices, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, it is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform and integrates modern JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics for tracking. Security measures include HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, though explicit security headers and detailed security policies are not evident. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which should be verified to ensure full trust. Overall, the site is a reliable resource for regional tourism but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security disclosures.

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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 · 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 business operates as a regional tourism authority, promoting the Fränkische Schweiz area with a focus on active holidays, cultural experiences, and family-friendly activities. Its business model revolves around providing information and facilitating bookings for accommodations and events, likely funded by regional tourism budgets or partnerships. The site links to related domains for shopping and booking, indicating a broader ecosystem supporting tourism services. Market positioning is strong as an official regional portal, targeting domestic and international tourists interested in Bavaria. The lack of explicit company registration or contact details limits deeper business intelligence but the professional presentation and comprehensive content suggest a medium-sized entity with established operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, no explicit security headers (such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS) were detected in the provided HTML content, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact points to potential gaps in security governance and transparency. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, as domain registration legitimacy is unclear. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened with additional technical controls and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility including official emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and FontAwesome Pro. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, and CookieFirst manages consent compliance. The site includes offline support via UpUp, indicating attention to user experience. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to optimize loading times. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, contributing to good usability. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit business contact data.
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.
