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. 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 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. 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

Kreis Bad Dürkheim holds a stable position as a regional government entity serving the public administration needs of its district. Its business model centers on providing essential government services, information dissemination, and community engagement. The website supports multiple service areas including citizen services, political information, tourism, and regional development. The absence of commercial activities or advertising aligns with its government mandate. Growth indicators are not applicable, but the site reflects a mature digital presence with structured content and consistent branding. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data, indicating a focused government operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and integration of Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No critical security headers were explicitly identified, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security configurations. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file indicates limited formal security communication channels. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but could enhance its security maturity by adopting additional best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing terms of service and incident response procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Ionas4 CMS platform combined with AngularJS for dynamic content rendering. It uses SystemJS for JavaScript module loading and preloads multiple web fonts for performance optimization. The site is served over HTTPS with modern font formats (woff2) and includes Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for form protection. The navigation is well-structured with mega menus supporting multiple levels of content hierarchy. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. Hosting appears to be regional with German nameservers, supporting low latency for local users. Performance is moderate, likely due to the complexity of the navigation and font loading. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided data.
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.
