0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website www.natur-mv.de serves as an official informational portal for the National Natural Landscapes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It provides detailed information about various national parks, biosphere reserves, and nature parks in the region, targeting nature enthusiasts, tourists, and visitors interested in environmental conservation and outdoor activities. The site features event announcements, interactive maps, and educational content, positioning itself as a key regional resource for nature-related tourism and conservation awareness. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and employs modern web technologies such as Leaflet.js for interactive maps and Swiper.js for image sliders. It integrates Matomo analytics with user consent mechanisms, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent banners, reflecting adherence to GDPR requirements. However, explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy or incident response contact are not evident. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the website's regional and governmental nature, supporting its legitimacy. Overall, the site maintains a solid security posture but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formal vulnerability disclosure policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website presenting a trustworthy, professional, and privacy-conscious platform. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy or incident response contact, and considering a vulnerability disclosure framework to further strengthen security and trust.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  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

The website operates as a regional governmental/non-profit platform promoting the natural landscapes of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its market positioning is focused on environmental education, tourism promotion, and conservation awareness. The business model revolves around providing authoritative information, event coordination, and partnership facilitation with various nature parks and biosphere reserves. Revenue streams are likely public funding and grants rather than commercial sales. The target customer segments include tourists, local residents, environmentalists, and educational groups. The partnership ecosystem is extensive, linking to official nature parks and conservation bodies. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital engagement via interactive maps and social media sharing. Strategic observations highlight the site's role as a trusted regional information hub with potential for expanded digital services and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms in place. The use of Matomo analytics with consent indicates privacy-conscious data collection. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security contact information, nor a vulnerability disclosure policy, which are best practices for transparency and rapid response. The WHOIS data is consistent and supports legitimacy, reducing risk of domain-related threats. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but would benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information by including verified company phone numbers and physical addresses to improve user trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities and maintain up-to-date software versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet.js for interactive mapping and Swiper.js for image carousels. It uses Matomo for analytics, integrated with a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as skip links and contrast/font size controls are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset delivery and caching. No hosting provider details were explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid, modern, and well-suited for the site's informational and interactive content.
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.
