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

The website www.sachsen-tourismus.de serves as a regional tourism portal promoting travel, culture, nature, and leisure experiences in Saxony, Germany. It targets tourists and travelers seeking vacation information and booking options in the region. The site is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted on Schlund Technologies infrastructure, indicating a stable and professional technical foundation. The content is well-structured, visually appealing, and optimized for mobile devices, providing a good user experience. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service are not found in the provided content, which could be improved for compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks some security headers and incident response information.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 business operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on regional tourism promotion and travel facilitation. It offers detailed destination guides, accommodation booking, and curated experiences, positioning itself as a key regional player in Saxony's tourism market. The partnership with www.sachsen-angebote.de suggests a B2B collaboration ecosystem. The business model revolves around content-driven tourism marketing and service facilitation. The website's consistent branding and quality content support its credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent but lacks explicit privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, supported by modern JavaScript and CSS technologies. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate with preloading of key images and module preloading of scripts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of some security headers and incomplete privacy documentation represent technical debt and compliance risks. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve transparency to enhance overall digital maturity.
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.
