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

The website service-digitale-verwaltung.de serves as a digital service management platform primarily targeting German government employees and administrators. It provides a login portal for accessing services related to the Onlinezugangsgesetz (OZG), which aims to digitalize public administration. The platform uses modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Vuetify, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. However, the website content is minimal, focusing mainly on user authentication without extensive public-facing information or policies. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure login forms but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No contact or incident response information is publicly available, limiting transparency. The WHOIS data and hosting setup via Colt nameservers suggest a legitimate and professionally managed domain consistent with government services. Overall, the website is functional for its intended purpose but requires enhancements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and public transparency to improve trust and regulatory adherence. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact and incident response channels.

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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 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 platform operates within the government sector, focusing on digital service management for public administration in Germany. Its business model revolves around providing a secure portal for government employees to manage and access digital services mandated by the OZG law. The target audience is specialized, consisting of public sector workers and administrators. The website's market position is niche, serving a specific regulatory-driven need. There is no evidence of commercial revenue streams or partnerships visible in the content. The use of modern web frameworks suggests investment in digital maturity, but the lack of public-facing business information and policies limits broader market engagement and trust signals.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and secure password input fields, which are fundamental. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, and no incident response contacts are provided, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security issues. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, significant improvements are needed to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels, including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and improve SSL/TLS configurations to maintain strong encryption standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js and Vuetify, indicating a modern JavaScript frontend framework with material design components. The presence of prefetch and preload tags suggests some optimization efforts for resource loading. Hosting is managed via Colt, a reputable provider, as indicated by the nameservers. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, SEO optimization is minimal due to lack of meta descriptions and Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA landmarks or advanced accessibility attributes detected. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced performance optimizations visible.
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.
