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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 IHK Nürnberg für Mittelfranken holds a strong market position as a government-affiliated chamber of commerce with a broad portfolio of services including consulting, workforce integration, international business facilitation, and sustainability initiatives. Their business model focuses on supporting regional economic development and providing value-added services to SMEs and larger enterprises. The website indicates partnerships with regional initiatives and digitalization projects, reflecting a collaborative ecosystem. The organization targets a diverse customer base from various industries, emphasizing innovation and compliance. The presence of detailed thematic sections and event information suggests active engagement with the business community and continuous growth orientation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of privacy-conscious analytics. The cookie consent implementation via tarteaucitron.js ensures compliance with GDPR cookie regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of RequireJS for module loading, Bootstrap for responsive design, and jQuery for DOM manipulation reflects a mature but somewhat traditional tech stack. Matomo analytics integration shows a preference for privacy-friendly tools. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The presence of a comprehensive cookie consent manager demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. Opportunities exist to modernize JavaScript usage and improve security headers to reduce technical debt and enhance security posture.
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.
