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.

Priority findings

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 Markt Oberstdorf as a local government authority with a focus on community services, municipal news, and citizen engagement. It leverages a specialized CMS (Tramino) tailored for municipal websites, indicating a niche market presence. The site does not appear to monetize through advertising but uses Google Analytics for visitor insights. The target audience is local residents and stakeholders in Oberstdorf. The presence of detailed contact information and official domain registration supports credibility. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes Tramino as a technology provider. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site is regularly updated with local news and events.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could be a gap in security readiness. The site uses error reporting via an internal API, indicating some level of monitoring. Overall, the security risk is low but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training for site administrators to foster a stronger security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tramino CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, RequireJS, and Fancybox for UI components. It loads multiple CSS stylesheets hosted on Tramino’s CDN and uses Google Fonts for typography. The site is served over HTTPS with no mixed content detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but somewhat specialized due to the use of Tramino, which may limit flexibility. Hosting appears stable and integrated with the CMS provider. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for modernization.
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.
