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

The Geoportal of Gemeinde Milower Land serves as an official municipal platform providing geospatial data and services to local citizens and administrative users. It offers online map applications, geodata services such as WMS and WFS, and thematic searches, supporting local planning and public information needs. The site is positioned as a small government entity platform within Brandenburg, Germany, with a focus on transparency and public service. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including Bootstrap 4.3.1 and jQuery 3.5.1, hosted on a provider indicated by the nameservers. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with basic accessibility and SEO features. However, it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and security enhancement. From a security perspective, the site shows no signs of blocking or WAF interference and does not expose sensitive data. The absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security posture. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing. Contact information is limited to a contact form without explicit emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained for its municipal purpose but would benefit from enhanced security practices, privacy compliance improvements, and more transparent contact information to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

  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

  3. 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';…

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 Geoportal Milower Land operates as a government service platform providing geospatial data and mapping services to the local community and administrative bodies. Its competitive advantage lies in offering official, up-to-date geodata including soil value indicators (Bodenrichtwerte) and integration within the Brandenburg geodata infrastructure. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public sector data dissemination rather than commercial revenue. Target customers include municipal employees, planners, and residents seeking geographic information. The platform is supported by EU funding, indicating strategic partnerships and compliance with regional development goals. Growth potential is tied to expanding geodata services and improving digital accessibility. Partnerships with regional entities such as EFRE Brandenburg enhance credibility and resource availability. The platform's ecosystem is focused on open data and interoperability with external geoservices, positioning it well within the public sector digital transformation landscape.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not employ advanced tracking or third-party analytics, reducing privacy risks. To improve security posture, the organization should implement recommended HTTP security headers, establish a vulnerability disclosure policy, and provide clear incident response contacts. Enhancing cookie management and consent will also improve compliance and user trust. Overall, the site is secure enough for public informational use but requires improvements to meet higher security standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information transparency by providing official emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used technology stack featuring Bootstrap 4.3.1 and jQuery 3.5.1, ensuring compatibility and ease of maintenance. The HTML structure is valid and semantic, supporting good SEO and accessibility practices at a basic level. Hosting is managed via webspace-verkauf.de as indicated by the nameservers, which is a common German hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or complex frameworks detected, but mobile optimization is basic and could be improved for better user experience on smaller devices. The absence of a CMS or advanced platform suggests a custom or lightweight solution focused on content delivery rather than dynamic content management. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack with newer frameworks and improve accessibility and SEO features to enhance reach and usability.
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.
