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

The website www.kreis-alzey-worms.de represents the official online presence of the Kreisverwaltung Alzey-Worms, a regional government administration in Germany. It provides comprehensive information and services for citizens and businesses within the district, including access to eServices, online appointment scheduling, and detailed information on political bodies and local governance. The site is well-structured and targets local residents and enterprises seeking administrative support. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, a robust and widely used content management system. It employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Matomo for analytics, both configured to respect user privacy and consent. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with domaincontrol.com, indicating professional domain management. The design is responsive and accessible, with clear navigation and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security policies are not clearly published, which represents a compliance gap. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content. The absence of security headers and explicit contact information for security incidents suggests areas for improvement. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid digital maturity level appropriate for a government entity, with good trust indicators and user experience. Strategic enhancements in privacy documentation, security headers, and contact transparency would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Kreisverwaltung Alzey-Worms operates as a regional government authority providing administrative services to citizens and businesses in the Alzey-Worms district of Germany. Its market position is that of a public sector entity focused on governance, public services, and community engagement. The business model centers on service delivery rather than commercial revenue generation. Key services include waste management, environmental protection, social services, education, and political information dissemination. The website supports digital transformation efforts by offering eServices and online appointment booking, indicating a move towards improved citizen engagement and operational efficiency. Partnerships with local portals and political information systems suggest a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its public service mandate. Growth indicators include the adoption of modern CMS and analytics tools, reflecting ongoing digital investments.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The integration of Cookiebot for cookie consent and Matomo analytics configured to respect consent demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file was found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy documents to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security email addresses.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and secure content management system suitable for government websites. It uses Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management and Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics. The site is hosted on domaincontrol.com nameservers, indicating professional domain management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site includes comprehensive navigation menus and structured content. However, no advanced modern frameworks beyond TYPO3 were detected. The site could improve by optimizing security headers and expanding privacy documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports reliable and compliant operations with room for modernization in security practices.
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.
