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

Stadt Rodewisch operates as the official municipal government website for the city of Rodewisch, Germany. It provides comprehensive information about local government, politics, city services, events, and community resources targeted at residents, businesses, and visitors. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and offers key services such as public announcements, online appointment booking, and access to municipal documents. The website maintains consistent branding and trust indicators appropriate for a government entity. Technically, the website uses a modern yet somewhat traditional technology stack including jQuery, Material Design Lite, and Nivo Slider, hosted on a Verwaltungsportal CMS platform. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and modernizing some libraries. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and security posture. The WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with a municipal domain, with no suspicious indicators. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional municipal portal with good privacy compliance and user experience. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and technical modernization could further strengthen its posture.

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

2 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 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

Stadt Rodewisch holds a stable position as a local government authority serving the city and its residents. Its business model focuses on providing public services and information dissemination. The website supports community engagement through event listings and online services. Partnerships with regional initiatives and local organizations are evident through linked domains. The site targets a broad audience including citizens, local businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include active news updates and event management. The partnership ecosystem includes regional government and development organizations, enhancing its community integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented in line with GDPR requirements. Use of ReCaptcha and session management cookies indicates attention to user security. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contact is provided, limiting transparency. No vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal informational site but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website performance and modernize the technology stack to improve user experience and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Verwaltungsportal CMS platform using technologies such as jQuery, Material Design Lite, Nivo Slider, and Slick Carousel. It loads multiple external CSS and JS resources from trusted domains related to the CMS and partners. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and sliders. No major technical debt is evident, but some libraries like jQuery are older versions. No advanced frameworks like React or Angular are detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could be modernized for improved security and 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.
