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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention marke-eifel.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for marke-eifel.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The Marke Eifel website positions itself as a key regional brand uniting economic, tourism, and quality product sectors in the Eifel region of Germany. It leverages EU and regional funding to support its initiatives. The business model centers on regional promotion and brand communication to attract businesses, tourists, and consumers of regional products. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism sites, shops, and government agencies. The site content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a focus on regional development and marketing. Growth indicators include active digital presence and compliance with privacy regulations. The website serves as a hub for stakeholders interested in the Eifel region's economic and tourism opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, allowing granular user control over cookie categories. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The use of Google Analytics is privacy-aware with cookie retention policies disclosed. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and security controls to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update as needed.
  4. Consider adding a dedicated contact email for security or abuse reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing detailed data protection officer contact information if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript and CSS, leveraging Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. Hosting is via netpeak.de, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and responsive images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. The site uses service workers for offline capabilities, indicating a progressive web app approach. Technical risks are low, but the absence of some security headers and formal policies suggests areas for technical improvement.
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.
