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

The website www.lrabb.de serves as the official digital presence of Landkreis Böblingen, a German county government entity. It provides comprehensive public services and information to residents, businesses, and political stakeholders within the region. The site features extensive navigation covering administrative services, social programs, environmental initiatives, and economic development. The presence of certifications such as the European Energy Award Gold and Fairtrade Landkreis underscores its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The website targets a broad audience including citizens, local businesses, and government officials, positioning itself as a trusted regional authority. Technically, the site leverages a modern technology stack including jQuery, Leaflet for mapping, and the Komm.ONE CMS platform, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The site is well-optimized for SEO and mobile devices, with clear navigation and professional design. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs secure external scripts. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance suitable for a government institution. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure channel to further strengthen security and transparency.

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

2 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. 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

Landkreis Böblingen operates as a regional government authority providing a wide range of public services including administrative support, social welfare, environmental management, and economic development. The website reflects a mature digital presence with partnerships linking to career portals, waste management, education, and healthcare providers. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on citizen engagement and regional development. The site’s market position is that of a trusted local government entity with a medium-sized operational scale. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, supporting sustainability, digitalization, and social inclusion initiatives. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and continuous content updates. The website supports transparency and accessibility, reinforcing the county’s commitment to public service.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of secure external scripts and a cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for proactive security management. The site’s security score is good but could be enhanced by adopting these additional measures. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Komm.ONE CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, bxSlider, Lightbox, and Leaflet for interactive maps. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features like skip links and language selectors. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in script loading and image sizes. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting appears to be managed via German-based providers with stable DNS configurations. The site integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking with privacy considerations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a reliable and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
