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

4 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 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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention karriere-hdh.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for karriere-hdh.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 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

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data handling.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. 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.
