The website 'Corona in Hanau' is an official municipal information portal operated by Stadt Hanau, Germany, providing comprehensive and up-to-date information related to the Coronavirus pandemic. It serves residents and stakeholders by offering resources such as testing locations, vaccination sites, hygiene rules, legal information, and support services. The site is positioned as a trusted government source with consistent branding and clear navigation.
Technically, the website is built on the IMPERIA CMS platform and utilizes a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Matomo Analytics, and Google Maps API. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, ensuring GDPR compliance with user opt-in for analytics tracking.
From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and anonymizes user IPs in analytics. However, explicit security headers and incident response information are not evident, suggesting room for improvement in security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site maintains a good balance between usability, privacy, and security.
The risk assessment is low given the official nature of the site and its compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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.
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
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"
This scan found 25 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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
Stadt Hanau operates this portal as a government service to disseminate COVID-19 related information to its citizens. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and health communication. The site leverages partnerships with official health institutions like the Robert Koch Institute and Hessen state government, enhancing credibility. The target audience is local residents and businesses seeking pandemic-related guidance. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive, localized content. Growth indicators include continuous updates and integration of vaccination and testing information. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and health authorities, supporting broad outreach.
Security posture
The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, providing user control over tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security governance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and incident contacts to improve readiness and user trust.
Recommendations
Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for security updates and vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to improve user experience.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a mature CMS (IMPERIA 10.5.1_1) and a variety of modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Matomo Analytics. The presence of Google Maps API and Font Awesome CDN indicates reliance on external services with user consent. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical infrastructure appears stable and suitable for a government information portal, though security header implementation and incident response mechanisms are areas for enhancement.
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.
