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

The website www.visitfrankfurt.travel serves as the official tourism portal for Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It provides comprehensive information about cultural events, sightseeing, gastronomy, and booking options for visitors. The site targets tourists and groups interested in exploring Frankfurt and the surrounding Rhein-Main region. The business model focuses on tourism promotion and facilitating bookings for accommodations, tours, and events. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and multilingual, enhancing its accessibility and user experience. Technically, it is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, employs modern JavaScript frameworks, and integrates consent management and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure form implementations, though explicit security headers and published privacy policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the overall site quality and partner links support legitimacy. Strategic improvements include publishing clear privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and providing incident response contacts.

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. 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

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 site positions itself as a key regional tourism authority for Frankfurt am Main, leveraging partnerships with regional tourism boards and ticketing services. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive local content, multilingual support, and integrated booking services. Revenue streams likely include commissions from bookings and promotional partnerships. The target customer segments are leisure tourists, groups, and event attendees. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of modern marketing and analytics tools. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism domains and congress industry sites, reinforcing its market presence. Operationally, the site demonstrates professionalism and a focus on user engagement through rich media and structured navigation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and secure form handling including CAPTCHA. The use of Usercentrics indicates attention to privacy compliance, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not found in the provided content. Security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, which could impact rapid mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the site.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance cookie consent transparency and ensure GDPR compliance documentation is accessible.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable platform. It uses modern JavaScript modules and libraries, including Vue.js components and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance appears fast with preloading of key images and scripts.

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.
