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

PlusPunktZeit is a community-oriented cultural platform operated by the City of Lörrach's Department of Culture and Tourism, primarily targeting senior citizens and local residents. The website offers a variety of programs including cultural events, excursions, movement and relaxation activities, digital literacy workshops, and educational lectures. It serves as a local government initiative to promote community engagement and cultural participation. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and DMX App Connect components, with a backend powered by Parse Server. The site is hosted by Infomaniak, a reputable hosting provider. The design is responsive and user-friendly, with dynamic content loading from the backend. However, some technical improvements could be made in SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML. However, no security headers were detected, and there is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure policy is present. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, reflecting its public sector nature. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing contact information visibility to improve user 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.

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

  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 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';…

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

PlusPunktZeit operates as a small-scale public sector cultural engagement platform under the City of Lörrach. Its market position is that of a local government service provider focused on senior citizens and community cultural activities. The business model is non-commercial, funded by municipal resources, aiming to enhance social cohesion and cultural participation. The platform offers diverse event categories and downloadable program brochures, indicating active community involvement. Partnerships appear limited to official city websites, with no commercial affiliations or advertising. Growth indicators are not explicit but the structured event offerings suggest ongoing community engagement. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official backing and targeted programming for seniors, a niche demographic in the region.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leakage is evident. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No visible vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be enhanced to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with EU regulations.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance visibility of contact information including official emails and phone numbers for user support and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and DMX App Connect for dynamic frontend components. The backend is powered by Parse Server, enabling API-driven content management. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reliable European hosting provider. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. SEO is basic with meta viewport and charset tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but the site is mobile optimized. The use of multiple deferred scripts and external libraries is well managed. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in SEO metadata and security headers would enhance the overall technical quality.
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.
