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

7 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

JenaWasser operates as an essential public utility in the energy sector, focusing on water supply and wastewater management. The business model is service-oriented, catering primarily to the local population and commercial entities within the region. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized organization with a stable market position. The use of TYPO3 CMS and professional web design indicates a mature digital presence. Partnerships with local service providers such as Joppnet for multimedia and CMS support are evident. The company maintains compliance with regional regulations, as indicated by the use of Usercentrics for GDPR consent management. However, the absence of detailed privacy and security documentation may limit transparency. No affiliate or advertising partnerships are detected, emphasizing a focus on public service rather than commercial marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform to comply with GDPR requirements. The use of Usercentrics indicates attention to user privacy and cookie consent. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in the security posture. The jQuery version used is somewhat outdated, which could pose potential vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The domain's WHOIS data is minimal but does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish incident response contacts such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries like jQuery to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  6. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  7. Regularly audit and update consent management configurations to ensure GDPR compliance.
  8. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses jQuery 2.2.4, Font Awesome icons, and integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent management. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs such as Cloudflare and MaxCDN. The site is hosted with domaincontrol.com DNS servers, indicating GoDaddy as the registrar and likely hosting provider. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations, and mobile responsiveness is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking, balanced with consent management to respect privacy. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected beyond the slightly outdated jQuery version.
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.
