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

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The website serves as a recruitment and informational platform for the Landkreis Heidenheim government, focusing on attracting and informing potential employees. Its business model is centered on public sector employment facilitation, offering a secure and meaningful workplace with various career paths. The site integrates social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) to broaden outreach and engagement. The presence of structured contact data and official logos reinforces its legitimacy. While no direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident, the site supports the government’s HR objectives and community engagement.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism implemented via Komm.ONE. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers were not explicitly identified, indicating a potential area for enhancement. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the site aligns well with standard security and privacy best practices for government portals.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data handling.
Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Implement and verify security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
Enhance transparency by including terms of service or user agreements related to site usage.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a specialized CMS (dvv-Mastertemplates) tailored for government use, integrating modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and bxSlider for interactive UI elements. The site uses Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears regional with German nameservers, supporting data sovereignty. The cookie consent implementation is robust, leveraging Komm.ONE’s solution. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were observed, though security header implementation could be improved.
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.
