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

The website www.kraftsdorf.de serves as the official online presence of the Gemeinde Kraftsdorf, a local government municipality in Germany. It provides residents and visitors with essential information about municipal administration, citizen services, event calendars, and public announcements. The site targets local community members and stakeholders seeking government-related information and services. The business model is that of a public sector entity focused on governance and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on a specialized German municipal CMS platform (verwaltungsportal.de) and employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Material Design Lite, and Nivo Slider for interactive and responsive user experience. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with clear categorization and retention policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, security headers are not explicitly present, and no published security or incident response policies were found, indicating room for improvement in formal security governance. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It effectively serves its purpose as a municipal information portal with a good balance of usability and privacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and maintaining up-to-date third-party libraries to strengthen security posture further.

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. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Gemeinde Kraftsdorf operates as a small-sized local government entity in Germany, providing essential public administration and citizen services. Its market position is that of a trusted municipal authority serving the Kraftsdorf community. The website supports transparency and engagement through event calendars, official announcements, and contact information. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and public service delivery. The site leverages partnerships with verwaltungsportal.de for CMS and hosting infrastructure. No commercial revenue streams or affiliate partnerships are evident. The target audience includes local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking municipal information. Growth indicators are not applicable given the public sector nature. The partnership ecosystem includes CMS and platform providers but no commercial partners. Strategic observations highlight a focus on compliance, accessibility, and community service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented with granular user control, supporting GDPR compliance. The site uses Captcha mechanisms to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact channels are not published, which could delay handling of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal website but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a specialized CMS platform tailored for German municipal websites, leveraging technologies such as jQuery, Material Design Lite, and Nivo Slider for interactive UI components. The site uses external hosted fonts and CSS from verwaltungsportal.de domains, indicating a centralized platform approach. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of slider images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph properties. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain name servers are from generic providers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and appropriate for the site's purpose, with opportunities to improve security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
