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

3 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

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

meinOrt holds a strong market position as a regional digital community app linked to the established LINUS WITTICH media group. Its freemium business model combines free user access with paid premium listings for businesses, targeting local citizens, municipalities, and regional enterprises. The platform's integration with official Amtsblatt content and local government services provides a competitive advantage. The ecosystem includes partnerships with related Wittich domains for advertising and content management. Growth is indicated by over 2,000 participating locations and continuous feature development. The company emphasizes user engagement, local commerce support, and municipal communication, positioning meinOrt as a key digital community enabler in Germany.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with valid SSL, uses CSRF tokens in forms, and integrates a cookie consent management system (Klaro) to comply with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The site uses Google Analytics, which is disclosed in the cookie consent. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and formalizing incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide a clear incident response contact email (e.g., security@meinort.app) to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are used.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by documenting data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Leaflet for interactive maps, and Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates secure form handling. Hosting appears to be managed by Wittich Medien KG infrastructure, ensuring regional control. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile optimization and accessibility are excellent. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Klaro for cookie consent, reflecting good privacy awareness. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital service.
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.
