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

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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Bielefeld Marketing GmbH operates this digital campaign to enhance the city's image and attract new residents and visitors. The business model focuses on city branding and promotion, leveraging digital media and partnerships with local institutions and companies. The campaign emphasizes Bielefeld's unique blend of urban amenities and natural surroundings, appealing to diverse demographics including families, students, and professionals. The presence of testimonials and partner networks indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting the city's growth. While direct revenue streams are not evident, the campaign supports broader economic development goals. The market position is that of a regional leader in city marketing, with a focus on quality of life and career opportunities.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which is a gap in transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, indicating awareness of privacy and security compliance. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to improve user trust and support.

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily React and Next.js, which provide server-side rendering and optimized performance. The use of WebP images and responsive design ensures fast loading and excellent mobile experience. Hosting is provided by Kasserver, as indicated by the nameservers. The site includes well-structured metadata and Open Graph tags for SEO and social media sharing. Accessibility features appear adequate, and navigation is clear and user-friendly. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with room for minor security enhancements.
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.
