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

NOLIS GmbH is a well-established German company specializing in digital transformation solutions for public sector entities, particularly municipalities. With over 25 years of experience and more than 400 municipal clients, NOLIS offers a comprehensive E-Government software suite, including a proprietary CMS, online citizen services, childcare placement software, recruiting tools, and GIS-based cartography solutions. Their business model focuses on providing integrated software and consulting services to streamline administrative processes and enhance citizen engagement. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern web technologies, responsive design, and accessibility considerations. The proprietary CMS and integration of various specialized platforms indicate a robust technical ecosystem. The site is fast-loading, well-structured, and optimized for SEO and mobile devices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements cookie consent mechanisms, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit published security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and vulnerability management. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. Overall, the website and business present a low-risk profile with strong credibility and professionalism. Strategic recommendations include formalizing security policies, enhancing HTTP security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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

  2. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 20 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

NOLIS GmbH occupies a strong niche in the German public sector digital transformation market, leveraging long-standing relationships with municipalities and a broad portfolio of tailored software solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in integrated platforms that replace isolated IT systems, enabling seamless citizen services and administrative efficiency. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, consulting, training, and support services. The company actively engages its target audience through events, news, and a dedicated academy, fostering community and knowledge sharing. Partnerships with specialized service domains (e.g., recruiting, childcare, sports facilities) expand their ecosystem and market reach. The company’s strategic focus on OZG compliance and inter-municipal cooperation positions it well for future growth amid increasing digital government mandates.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and secure form validation. Absence of exposed sensitive data and minimal third-party tracking reduce attack surface. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. HTTP security headers are not explicitly detected and should be reviewed to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by adopting formalized policies and disclosure mechanisms aligned with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy on the website to inform users and stakeholders.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and uses FontAwesome icons and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It employs a proprietary CMS tailored for municipal needs, integrating various specialized platforms for citizen services, recruiting, and GIS mapping. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with fast loading times and proper SEO meta tags. Cookie consent is managed via CookieDough. The technical infrastructure appears well-maintained with no visible technical debt or deprecated technologies. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the domain uses multiple authoritative name servers under the company’s domain namespace, indicating controlled infrastructure.
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.
