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

Saarbrücker Bäder is a regional public service provider operating multiple swimming pools and leisure facilities in Saarbrücken, Germany. The website offers information on swimming courses, fitness programs, ticket sales, and events, targeting local residents and visitors interested in aquatic and fitness activities. The business model focuses on public leisure services with an online presence for ticketing and customer engagement. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Foundation, and Owl Carousel, hosted on servers managed by internett.de. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Security headers are partially implemented, but modern TLS protocols and HSTS are missing. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate basic GDPR compliance, but no terms of service or incident response policies are found. Social media integration is active with official Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube accounts. Overall, the site is functional and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance 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. 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

The company operates in the hospitality and public service sectors, providing swimming and fitness facilities funded partly by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. Its market position is regional with a focus on community engagement and public health. The online shop partner domain handles ticketing and voucher sales, indicating a digital sales channel. The target audience includes families, fitness enthusiasts, and local citizens. The website content is well-structured and consistent with the brand, supporting a medium-sized operation. The partnership with the city of Saarbrücken and funding acknowledgments enhance credibility. No direct contact details or advanced business certifications are disclosed on the site.

Security posture

The security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like XSS protection and content type options are set, critical modern security practices such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and TLS 1.2/1.3 support are missing. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of HttpOnly and Secure flags on cookies is a positive practice. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security policies to meet modern standards and GDPR requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish clear terms of service, security policy, and incident response information to enhance transparency and compliance.
  5. Add explicit company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers for user support and compliance.
  6. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization for better user experience and reach.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform with a frontend leveraging jQuery, Owl Carousel, Air Datepicker, Foundation framework, Select2, and Smartbanner.js for UI components and accessibility. Hosting is provided by internett.de with Apache and Varnish caching. Performance metrics indicate slow loading, possibly due to caching age and lack of optimization. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and off-canvas navigation. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA labels and ReadSpeaker integration. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. The site uses etracker for analytics, which respects Do Not Track and blocks cookies accordingly.
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.
