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

3 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. 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

KommWis holds a strong market position as a specialized IT service provider for municipal administrations in Rheinland-Pfalz. Its business model focuses on providing tailored IT solutions and knowledge transfer to local governments, supported by its parent municipal associations. The company benefits from a stable client base of over 200 municipalities and a network of subsidiaries that expand its service offerings. The presence of multiple partner municipal associations and subsidiaries indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. The company’s longevity and employee count suggest operational stability. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services for public administration and leveraging its partnerships. The website content and structure reflect a clear focus on government clients, emphasizing trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented in line with GDPR. The use of script integrity attributes and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represent gaps in transparency and readiness. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or analytics, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response information and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern CMS (ionas4) combined with AngularJS for dynamic content rendering. It leverages modern web fonts, video elements, and script integrity checks to enhance security and performance. Hosting appears to be stable and professional, likely with Deutsche Telekom. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The absence of heavy analytics or advertising scripts reduces complexity and privacy concerns. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from additional security headers and performance tuning.
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.
