Security score

61/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website lets-du-it.com serves as a promotional platform for the city of Duisburg, Germany, emphasizing its transformation into a sustainable and innovative urban center, particularly highlighting its role as Europe's Hydrogen Capital. The site targets skilled workers, international talent, and innovators, offering information about economic sectors, quality of life, and job opportunities. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern plugin stack including multilingual support and cookie consent management. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of a clear privacy policy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy transparency and security hardening.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

  4. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The platform positions Duisburg as a key player in energy, logistics, and innovation sectors, leveraging its strategic location and infrastructure. It operates as a city branding and talent attraction initiative, likely supported by local government or economic development agencies. The business model focuses on promoting economic growth by attracting skilled professionals and fostering partnerships. The presence of a dedicated job portal and links to official city and regional event websites indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The target audience includes international professionals and students, with a focus on sustainability and modern urban living.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable plugin, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Enhancing security headers and enabling DNSSEC would strengthen defenses against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing popular plugins such as Slider Revolution, Borlabs Cookie for consent management, and WPML for multilingual support. The hosting registrar is Cronon GmbH, a reputable German provider. The site uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
