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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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"

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

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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 business operates within the government and non-profit sectors, leveraging partnerships with regional chambers and banks to provide trusted services in business succession. Its market position is that of a key regional facilitator with strong institutional backing. The business model centers on providing free or subsidized matching and advisory services to support SME succession in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple regional chambers and the Bürgschaftsbank Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active promotion of the Nachfolgeportal MV and regular updates via newsletters and events.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses secure POST methods for forms, indicating baseline security hygiene. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which minimizes privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure full GDPR compliance regarding user tracking and data processing.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS platform using a variety of jQuery plugins for UI interactions and effects. The technology stack is somewhat dated but functional, with no modern JavaScript frameworks detected. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive design and clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements possible through modernization of the tech stack and optimization of assets. No hosting provider information is available from the data. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs, but structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags are absent, limiting rich search engine results.
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.
