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

The website www.karlsruhe-erleben.de serves as a local tourism and city experience portal for Karlsruhe, Germany. It provides information about local events, attractions, and tourism services targeting residents and visitors. The site is built on the Neos CMS platform using the Flow PHP framework, with modern web technologies including JavaScript and Weglot for multilingual support. Cookiebot is implemented for cookie consent management, indicating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected, which is a gap in compliance and user transparency. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms and shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with a local German domain, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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. 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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 website positions itself as a local government or tourism-related information portal for Karlsruhe, focusing on promoting city experiences and events. Its business model is informational and promotional, likely funded or supported by local government or tourism boards. The target audience includes tourists, local residents, and visitors seeking event and attraction information. The use of open source CMS and third-party services like Cookiebot and Weglot suggests a cost-effective digital infrastructure. No direct commercial or e-commerce activities were detected. The site maintains consistent branding and content quality, supporting a moderate trust level. Lack of detailed business contact information and certifications limits full business credibility assessment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating compliance with cookie regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and providing contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern PHP-based CMS (Neos) with the Flow framework, supporting modular and scalable content management. JavaScript libraries include Weglot for multilingual support and Cookiebot for cookie consent, indicating integration of third-party services for compliance and user experience. Fonts are loaded via WOFF2 for performance optimization. The site uses HTTPS with no detected SSL issues. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and CSS. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured CSS. However, the lack of security headers and limited WHOIS data are technical risks that should be addressed to improve overall security and trust.
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.
