The Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB) operates as the official geospatial data and mapping authority for the Brandenburg region in Germany. The website serves as a comprehensive portal offering a wide range of geodata products, including 3D models, aerial imagery, cadastral data, and thematic maps. It targets government agencies, geospatial professionals, and the general public interested in regional geoinformation. The business model is that of a public sector service provider, delivering authoritative geospatial data and digital services to support regional planning and administration. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack utilizing HTML5, CSS3 with the Foundation 5 framework, JavaScript, and jQuery UI. It is powered by the SixCMS content management system and hosted likely by Deutsche Telekom, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Privacy is well-managed through a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism and the use of Matomo analytics activated only upon user consent. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a clear cookie consent opt-in mechanism. While explicit security headers are not visible in the provided data, the overall posture is good with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities detected. However, the site could improve by publishing explicit security policies and incident response information and implementing additional security headers. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and privacy-conscious digital presence for a government entity. It effectively balances user experience, compliance, and security, making it a reliable source for geospatial information in Brandenburg.

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.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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
  • 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

LGB holds a strong market position as the official geospatial authority for Brandenburg, providing essential mapping and geodata services. Its competitive advantage lies in authoritative data provision backed by government mandate and integration with regional digital infrastructure. The business model focuses on public service rather than commercial revenue streams, targeting government bodies, planners, and citizens. The partnership ecosystem includes Brandenburg state portals and hosting by Deutsche Telekom. Growth indicators include comprehensive digital product offerings and adherence to privacy regulations. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital modernization and enhanced security transparency could further strengthen its position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, privacy-compliant analytics, and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposure. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts is a gap that could affect transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is well addressed through clear privacy and cookie policies with opt-in consent. The use of Matomo analytics with session-based consent storage reflects a privacy-first approach. Recommendations include implementing security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing incident response contact information to enhance security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including security and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating privacy compliance mechanisms to maintain GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using HTML5, CSS3 with Foundation 5, and JavaScript libraries including jQuery UI. It leverages the SixCMS platform, which is common for German government sites. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom, ensuring stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by updating frameworks and enhancing security headers. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security header implementation and explicit security documentation.
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.
