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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

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 GSA operates as an important entity within the education and government sectors, providing publicly funded services that support workforce development and economic growth in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its market position is regional with a focus on public and private sector stakeholders interested in labor market policies and vocational training. The business model relies on government funding and partnerships, with key services including training subsidies, consulting, and support for business startups. The website content and certifications such as ISO 9001:2008 reinforce its credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a controlled communication approach, likely centralized through contact forms and official channels. The organization maintains a consistent brand image and demonstrates good digital maturity for its sector.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism that denies tracking by default. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided HTML content, and the use of an older jQuery version may pose some risk. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were found. The site avoids aggressive tracking and advertising, aligning with privacy best practices. Recommendations include implementing security headers, updating JavaScript libraries, and publishing clear security policies to strengthen the security culture and compliance.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.
Maintain and regularly review cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. The hosting is managed via domaincontrol.com nameservers, indicating use of a common hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though mobile optimization and accessibility are basic and could be improved. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found. The site uses a cookie consent panel with opt-in controls and disables analytics tracking by default, reflecting a privacy-first approach. Technical debt is minimal but updating legacy scripts and adding security headers would modernize the infrastructure and reduce risk.
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.
