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

4 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 company positions itself as a key regional player in economic development, leveraging Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's strategic location and infrastructure advantages. Its business model centers on providing advisory and facilitation services to investors, supported by a network of contacts and sector-specific expertise. The presence of dedicated contact persons with direct communication channels enhances client engagement. The website's bilingual support via a partner domain indicates an international outreach strategy. The use of analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to marketing and user engagement. No direct revenue streams or commercial transactions are evident, consistent with a government or quasi-governmental entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Matomo and Google Tag Manager is balanced with privacy compliance via cookie consent. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected in the provided content. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response information to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and UIkit frameworks, ensuring responsive design and modern UI components. It uses Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a hybrid approach to user tracking and data collection. The site loads a video header and multiple images optimized for different screen sizes, balancing aesthetics and performance. Accessibility features such as keyboard focus outlines and ARIA attributes are present, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and alternate hreflang links for language targeting. Hosting details are not explicit, but domain DNS uses generic name servers. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization.
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.
