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.

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.

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.

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
Maxhütte-Haidhof's municipal website positions itself as a central hub for local governance and community engagement. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a broad range of online services integrated with partner platforms (komuna.net) for streamlined citizen interactions. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public administration and community support. Revenue streams are typical of municipal budgets, not commercial sales. The target customer segment is local residents, families, seniors, and businesses within the city. Growth indicators include ongoing updates to service portals and event information. The partnership ecosystem includes komuna.net for digital services and Hetzner for hosting. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital accessibility and online service expansion to enhance citizen satisfaction.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a municipal portal. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. No security.txt or explicit incident response policies are published, which is a gap for vulnerability reporting and incident management transparency. The use of older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.3 may pose potential risks if not regularly patched. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the HTML source. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the site balances usability and security adequately but would benefit from enhanced security controls and formal policies.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
Upgrade JavaScript libraries to latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Develop and publish incident response and security policies accessible to users.
Enhance SEO metadata with Open Graph and structured data to improve search visibility.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Notes
The website is built on the IKISS CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and related plugins for UI interactions. It uses Slick Carousel for image sliders and Highslide for image galleries. Hosting is managed by Hetzner, a reliable German provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive CSS layouts for various screen widths. Accessibility is supported by Eye-Able assistive technology scripts. Performance is moderate, with some legacy scripts that could be modernized. SEO is basic, with minimal meta keywords and descriptions. The site uses cookie consent scripts to comply with GDPR. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
