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

    • 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

RMV holds a strong market position as a major regional public transport authority in Germany, offering integrated transport services including trains, buses, trams, and innovative mobility solutions like on-demand shuttles and bike-sharing. Its business model focuses on service provision and regional coordination, targeting commuters, tourists, and local residents. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content and partner integration. The partnership ecosystem includes Deutsche Bahn and platforms like Komoot, enhancing service reach. Growth indicators include digital ticketing and flexible mobility offerings. Strategic observations suggest RMV is well-positioned but could benefit from enhanced digital security and privacy features to maintain user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, secure form implementations, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-aware approach. However, the lack of explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS) and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, transparency, and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Introduce a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts and procedures.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing direct contact information such as company phone numbers and verified emails on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and robust technology stack centered on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Hosting is managed by sec-provider.de, indicating professional infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over more intrusive trackers. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve cookie management. The site structure is well-organized with clear navigation and comprehensive content, supporting a positive user experience and SEO performance.
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.
