0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Invest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH is a regional investment promotion agency focused on attracting and supporting investors in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The company provides advisory services ranging from location analysis to funding and company founding assistance. The website is professionally designed, targeting investors and businesses interested in the region's strategic advantages and strong industry sectors such as renewable energy, logistics, life sciences, and tourism. The site is bilingual, with German as the primary language and an English version available. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend frameworks like Bootstrap and UIkit. It employs Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics and has a cookie consent mechanism in place. The site is mobile-optimized and features clear navigation and professional branding. Security is well-implemented with HTTPS and relevant security headers, although some compliance documentation like privacy policy and terms of service pages are missing or not detected in the provided content. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information limits transparency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for the investment promotion agency, but improvements in privacy and security policy disclosures are recommended. The domain WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the business purpose. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access for analysis.

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 agency operates as a government-backed entity promoting Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as an investment location. Its competitive advantages include the region's central European location, strong traditional and emerging industries, and modern infrastructure. The business model is advisory and informational, targeting investors and companies seeking expansion. Revenue streams likely come from government funding and partnerships. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem visible through LinkedIn and Xing profiles of key contacts. Growth indicators include a well-maintained bilingual website and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest a focus on sustainable industries and leveraging geographic advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent is managed via a recognized tool (Werk3). However, the lack of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The site would benefit from publishing these documents and providing security contact channels to enhance trust and readiness for incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap and UIkit for responsive and modern frontend design. Analytics are handled by Matomo and Google Tag Manager, indicating a balanced approach to user tracking and privacy. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses optimized images for performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and layouts. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and contact details, and to enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
