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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Schkeuditz's municipal website reflects a stable local government entity focused on delivering public services and information. Its market position is that of an essential government service provider with a clear mandate to serve residents and businesses. The business model is non-commercial, centered on governance and community support. Key services include citizen administration, economic promotion, cultural programming, and social services. The site integrates with partner platforms such as the citizen and council information system and local cultural institutions, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital service offerings like online appointment scheduling. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its public sector nature.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form input validation. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The lack of publicly available incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and responsiveness to security issues. GDPR compliance is partially demonstrated through the presence of a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including dedicated security contact emails, to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Include data protection officer contact details on the privacy policy page to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the NOLIS CMS platform, a specialized content management system for municipal websites, using standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The site loads external fonts from a dedicated font server and integrates with various partner domains for extended services. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and responsive design supporting good mobile usability. The navigation system is robust, featuring both desktop megamenus and mobile-friendly collapsible menus. No modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced front-end libraries were detected, indicating a traditional but stable technical stack. Hosting appears to be managed by Deutsche Telekom, inferred from authoritative German nameservers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve performance metrics further.
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.
