The website karriere-garching.de serves as the official career portal for the city of Garching b. München, Germany. It provides comprehensive information about job opportunities, benefits, training, and working conditions within the municipal government. The portal targets job seekers interested in public sector employment and offers a secure and stable work environment with various employee benefits. The site is well-branded with official city logos and links to the main city homepage, reinforcing its legitimacy and trustworthiness. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Google Fonts, and is hosted on infrastructure linked to resellerinterface.de. It uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is mobile-optimized and features good SEO practices, although some security headers could be improved. Security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site uses Matomo analytics for user tracking with moderate tracking levels and respects user privacy through consent banners. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust.

Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and providing clearer contact information for security and privacy concerns.

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. 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 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

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 portal positions itself as a key recruitment and informational platform for the municipal government of Garching b. München. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of employment-related topics including benefits, training, and career advancement. The business model is that of a public sector employer providing stable jobs and community services. The target audience includes local residents, students, and professionals seeking public service roles. The site’s partnership with the main city website and social media channels supports a cohesive ecosystem for citizen engagement. Growth indicators include active job postings and educational opportunities. The platform supports the city’s strategic goals of workforce development and community service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of script blocking for third-party scripts indicates attention to security hygiene. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The site could benefit from implementing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and publishing a security.txt file to enhance transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but ongoing monitoring and updates are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack with JavaScript and CSS, leveraging Google Fonts for typography and hosted likely via resellerinterface.de. The CMS appears to be SiteHub, indicated by API references. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization implemented. The site uses Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. Technical debt is minimal, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance. The infrastructure is stable and appropriate for a municipal career portal, with no immediate technical risks identified that would impact business operations.
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.
