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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website positions Landkreis Miltenberg as a key local government authority in Germany, offering a broad range of public services and information. Its business model is that of a public sector entity focused on governance, community services, and regional development. The site supports transparency and citizen engagement through news updates, event information, and detailed departmental overviews. Partnerships with regional organizations are evident through linked domains. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking indicates a focus on public service rather than revenue generation. The digital maturity is moderate to high, with good content quality and technical implementation supporting user needs effectively.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible security misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of third-party scripts is limited and asynchronously loaded, reducing risk. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents effectively.

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform with modules indicating pct_cms usage, leveraging jQuery and Revolution Slider for interactive content. It uses modern web fonts and icon libraries like FontAwesome and Themify Icons. Accessibility is enhanced with the eyeAble plugin, supporting visual assistance and translation features. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts/styles for performance. Hosting is managed via kassserver.com nameservers, suggesting professional infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and preloading optimizations. SEO is supported by canonical tags, meta descriptions, and structured data (JSON-LD). There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for further modernization and security hardening.
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.
