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

5 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 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. 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

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.MV operates as a government essential entity focused on geospatial data infrastructure for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its market position is that of an authoritative regional geoportal integrated within the broader German geodata ecosystem, including partnerships with national and regional geo initiatives. The business model is public sector service provision, offering free access to geodata and related services to a wide range of users. Key competitive advantages include official backing, comprehensive data offerings, and integration with INSPIRE and Open Data directives. The platform supports growth through continuous technical updates and user engagement via feedback and newsletters. The partnership ecosystem includes GDI-MV, Geoportal-DE, and GAIA-MV, enhancing service breadth and reliability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR and TTDSG regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of Siteimprove indicates ongoing monitoring of accessibility and quality. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government platform but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy including incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing direct company emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Continue regular updates and monitoring using tools like Siteimprove to maintain accessibility, performance, and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a standard web technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. It uses multiple CSS stylesheets for screen, print, and contrast modes, indicating attention to accessibility and user preferences. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or government-developed platform. External links to partner geoportals and wiki resources indicate integration within a broader geospatial data ecosystem. The use of Siteimprove scripts suggests active quality and accessibility monitoring. Technical risks are low, but modernization opportunities include adopting modern JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security headers.
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.
