Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien · Government · Germany
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Email security and SSL/TLS.
The website kulturstaatsminister.de serves as the official online presence of the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien, a German federal government agency responsible for cultural and media policy. It provides comprehensive information about cultural funding, policy initiatives, and government programs. The site targets the general public, cultural professionals, and stakeholders interested in German cultural affairs. The business model is that of a government information and service provider, with a strong emphasis on transparency and public engagement. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging open-source technologies such as Matomo for analytics and Bootstrap for responsive design. Hosting is managed by ITZBund, a German federal IT service provider, ensuring stable and secure infrastructure. The site demonstrates good digital maturity with mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO best practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formalizing incident response communications. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site exhibiting high trustworthiness and professionalism. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing incident response policies, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen security and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
