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

Stadt Hanau operates a comprehensive municipal career portal showcasing a wide range of employment opportunities across various city-owned enterprises and public services. The website serves as a central hub for job seekers interested in public sector roles in Hanau, Germany, highlighting subsidiaries in infrastructure, childcare, energy, transportation, healthcare, and more. The portal emphasizes community engagement and career development within the municipal framework. Technically, the website is built on the Imperia CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and incorporating modern UI components like Swiper and Owl Carousel. The site uses Matomo analytics with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a mature approach to privacy. However, some outdated libraries (notably jQuery 2.2.4) and minor HTML markup issues suggest areas for technical improvement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs privacy-respecting analytics but lacks visible security headers and uses an outdated JavaScript library version, which could expose it to known vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, indicating room for enhanced transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its public sector mission. Strategic improvements in technical modernization and security hardening would further strengthen its posture and user trust.

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.

Priority findings

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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

Stadt Hanau holds a strong position as a municipal employer and service provider, managing a diverse portfolio of subsidiaries that cover essential public services such as infrastructure maintenance, childcare, energy supply, public transport, healthcare, and city marketing. The business model focuses on public sector employment and community service, targeting local residents and professionals seeking stable careers in government-related fields. The extensive partnership ecosystem and clear branding reinforce its market presence. Growth indicators include active recruitment campaigns and educational partnerships, such as the Brüder Grimm Berufsakademie. The portal's integration with multiple subsidiary websites demonstrates a cohesive operational strategy.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo) are used with explicit cookie consent, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery version (2.2.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities, and the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies or incident response contacts limit transparency and readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data or credentials in the HTML, which is positive. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a public sector informational site but requires updates and policy enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current, supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Correct malformed HTML tags to ensure all resources load properly and reduce potential rendering or security issues.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature CMS platform (Imperia) combined with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and modern UI components like Swiper and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-focused approach. However, the inclusion of an outdated jQuery version (2.2.4) and some malformed HTML tags in stylesheet and script includes suggest technical debt and potential risks. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and responsive design supporting mobile users. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but would benefit from modernization and cleanup.
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.
