The website www.mv-tut-gut.de is the official Landesportal (state portal) for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It serves as a comprehensive information hub presenting the state's strengths in economy, education, culture, tourism, and government services. The portal targets a broad audience including residents, visitors, and businesses, providing access to various official partner portals and service platforms. The content is professionally curated with multimedia elements, event calendars, and regional news, reflecting a mature and well-established digital presence. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, YouTube APIs, and Typekit fonts. It implements a cookie consent mechanism with opt-in for web analytics, indicating good privacy awareness. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, suitable for a content-rich government portal. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and employs spam-protection techniques for email addresses. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not published, representing areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. It is a reliable digital asset for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern government, though enhancing transparency around security policies and incident handling would strengthen its security posture further.

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

11 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

  2. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  4. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 · found on this site
  • 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 portal occupies a central position as the official digital gateway for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, providing authoritative information and linking to specialized portals for services, careers, education, and culture. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, funded and operated by government entities. The site supports regional economic development by promoting local businesses and tourism. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple official domains, reflecting a collaborative government digital strategy. Growth indicators include multimedia content, event promotion, and active social media engagement. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of regional topics.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented for analytics. Spam protection for emails is done via JavaScript encryption. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and preparedness. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which could be improved to mitigate common web threats. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries in the visible code. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Continue maintaining cookie consent with opt-in and ensure regular audits of third-party scripts for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system suitable for government portals. The front-end employs jQuery and YouTube iframe APIs for interactive and multimedia content. Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit, ensuring consistent branding. Cookie consent is managed by Silktide's CookieConsent plugin with an opt-in model, reflecting privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with accessible navigation and semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple external resources. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Hosting details are not explicit but domain name servers indicate a stable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
