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

The website www.gartenreich.net represents the Gartenreich Dessau-Wörlitz, a UNESCO World Heritage site located within the Biosphärenreservat Mittelelbe in Germany. It serves as an informational and cultural heritage platform promoting the historical and environmental significance of the region. The site targets general audiences interested in cultural tourism, environmental education, and heritage preservation. The business model is primarily informational and non-commercial, focusing on education and tourism promotion. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend libraries such as Bootstrap 4.6, jQuery 3.6, Slick Carousel, and Fancybox. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features like contrast mode and font size adjustments. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no analytics or tracking scripts were found in the provided content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available. The site shows no signs of malware or phishing but would benefit from enhanced security headers and transparency regarding security policies. Overall, the website is professionally designed and trustworthy in content but has gaps in domain registration transparency and security policy disclosures. Strategic improvements in security headers, WHOIS registration clarity, and incident response documentation are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
  2. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Gartenreich Dessau-Wörlitz website occupies a niche cultural heritage and environmental tourism market segment in Germany. It leverages UNESCO World Heritage status as a key trust and branding element. The site collaborates with partner domains such as mittelelbe.com and haus-der-fluesse.de, indicating a networked approach to regional tourism promotion. The business model is informational and non-profit oriented, focusing on education, cultural preservation, and visitor engagement. Revenue streams are likely indirect, through tourism and public funding. The target customer segments include tourists, educators, and cultural heritage enthusiasts. Growth indicators are limited but stable given the site's cultural significance. The partnership ecosystem is regional and thematic, supporting environmental and cultural initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Accessibility features indicate attention to user inclusivity. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The absence of WHOIS data and public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represents compliance and transparency gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and publishing a security.txt file to improve incident response readiness and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS domain registration information to enhance trustworthiness.
  3. Develop and publicly share incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for security and general inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and mature content management system suitable for institutional websites. Frontend technologies include Bootstrap 4.6 for responsive design, jQuery 3.6 for DOM manipulation, Slick Carousel for image sliders, and Fancybox for lightbox functionality. The site includes accessibility enhancements such as contrast mode and font size controls, indicating good user experience design. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided HTML. The absence of analytics scripts suggests minimal user tracking, aligning with privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. The site could improve by adding modern security headers and enhancing domain registration transparency.
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.
