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
3 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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 website serves as a digital front for the Inselstadt Malchow municipality, targeting residents, local businesses, and tourists. It offers a broad range of services including public announcements, event calendars, tourism information, and administrative contacts. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and community engagement. Partnerships with regional government and tourism sites (amt-malchow.de, visit-malchow.de) enhance its ecosystem. The site reflects a small-sized government entity with consistent branding and trust signals such as official logos and EU funding acknowledgments. Growth indicators include active news updates and event promotion, supporting local economic and cultural development.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and security readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and formal incident response documentation.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
Consider integrating privacy-friendly analytics to monitor site usage while maintaining GDPR compliance.
Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern and stable technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and Nivo Slider for image carousels. It is hosted on rzone.de servers with domain nameservers aligned accordingly. The CMS appears to be a specialized platform for German municipal websites (verwaltungsportal.de), which supports structured content and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and optimized assets. The site is mobile-friendly and includes accessibility controls such as font size adjustment. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph properties. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adopting enhanced security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
