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

The website gis-lkgr.de serves as the official geoportal for Landkreis Görlitz, a regional government entity in Germany. It provides a comprehensive set of geographic information system (GIS) services including parcel and address searches, map printing, coordinate tools, and access to OGC services. The portal targets residents, local government officials, planners, and public users interested in geographic and cadastral data of the Landkreis Görlitz region. The business model is a public service offering free access to official geographic data, positioning itself as a trusted government resource. Technically, the website is built using ExtJS 4 framework and proprietary GIS software components (cardo.Map3Lib). It employs AJAX for dynamic content loading and uses HTTPS for secure communication. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are present but could be improved. The content is well-structured and professionally presented, with consistent branding aligned with Landkreis Görlitz. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Incident response and security policies are not explicitly provided. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site appearing trustworthy and legitimate as an official government portal. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent mechanisms, providing explicit security and incident response policies, improving mobile responsiveness, and regularly auditing third-party libraries. These steps will enhance compliance, security posture, and user trust.

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

7 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. 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 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';…

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

Landkreis Görlitz operates this geoportal as a government service to provide geographic and cadastral data to its constituents. The portal's market position is that of an official regional GIS provider, offering essential services such as parcel and address searches, thematic maps, and OGC-compliant data services. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and transparency. The target customer segments include local government officials, planners, residents, and businesses requiring geographic data. The portal leverages partnerships with related domains such as the official county website and cardo GIS services. Growth indicators include the availability of user-uploaded data and integration of multiple thematic layers. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding data services and improving user experience to maintain relevance and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and modern web security best practices. The lack of explicit incident response contacts or policies reduces readiness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or known exploits were detected in the provided content. The security culture appears functional but could be improved by adopting comprehensive security policies and enhancing technical controls. Business impact of current gaps is moderate, primarily related to compliance and user trust. Addressing these gaps will reduce risk and improve overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses ExtJS 4 framework and proprietary GIS components (cardo.Map3Lib) to deliver interactive map services. AJAXPro is used for asynchronous server communication. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted data transmission. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially for mobile devices. The HTML and CSS are valid but could be modernized to improve SEO and accessibility. The technical infrastructure appears stable and suitable for government GIS services but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
