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

Invest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH operates the Investguide MV website, a regional economic development platform providing a comprehensive database of over 300 commercial real estate locations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The company supports businesses seeking to establish or expand operations in the region by offering detailed location data, expert consultation, and access to funding and networks. The website targets investors and companies interested in the region's strategic advantages such as skilled labor, infrastructure, and quality of life. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including jQuery, cookie consent scripts, lazy loading, and carousel plugins. It is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a clear navigation structure. The site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, though explicit security headers are not evident from the provided data. From a security perspective, the site shows a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the use of an older jQuery version and lack of detected security headers suggest room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating potential gaps in formal security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business purpose. The domain WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the business claims. The site is free from adult or questionable content and provides clear contact information and social media presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, updating libraries, and formalizing security and incident response policies.

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 holds a strong regional position as a government-affiliated economic development entity promoting Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as a business location. Its competitive advantages include a comprehensive commercial real estate database, expert advisory services, and strong ties to local industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy. The business model focuses on facilitating investment and expansion through information provision and personalized support. Revenue streams likely derive from government funding and partnerships rather than direct sales. The target customers are domestic and international companies seeking to invest in the region. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a broad portfolio of success stories. The partnership ecosystem includes regional authorities and industry networks, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an older jQuery version may expose the site to minor vulnerabilities. No formal security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Data protection practices appear adequate for the site's scope, with no sensitive data exposure detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to their latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure privacy compliance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 3.4.1, cookie management scripts, lazy loading (blazy), and slick carousel for UI components. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some images using lazy loading to improve load times. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. The technical implementation is solid but could be modernized by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving accessibility. Security-related technical debt includes outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce risk.
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.
