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. 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';…
  2. 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

  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

The Landkreis Tuttlingen website serves as a central hub for regional government services, reflecting a stable public sector entity focused on administrative efficiency and citizen engagement. Its market position is that of a trusted local authority, with key services spanning social welfare, vehicle and traffic management, health and prevention, and environmental protection. The presence of multiple subdomains and partner sites indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting diverse community needs. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, with no commercial revenue streams evident. Growth indicators include digital service expansion and accessibility enhancements. Partnerships with local organizations and initiatives like Fairtrade and regional development programs underscore a community-centric approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. The absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces the defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. The integration of third-party scripts like ReadSpeaker is managed via reputable CDNs, minimizing risk. Overall, the site is secure for typical public sector use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or specialized CMS platform (IKISS CMS) with a technology stack featuring jQuery, jQuery UI, Flexslider, Photoswipe, and Tom Select for UI components and interactivity. Accessibility is prioritized through ARIA roles and ReadSpeaker integration. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching. The infrastructure appears stable but lacks explicit hosting provider information. Technical debt is minimal, though modernization opportunities exist in adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security configurations.
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.
