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

The website represents the official online presence of the Ministry for Education, Youth and Sports of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It serves as a comprehensive information portal for the Sportministerkonferenz and related youth and sports initiatives. The site targets residents of Baden-Württemberg, educators, youth organizations, and government stakeholders, providing news, organizational details, and resources. The business model is that of a government public service entity, focusing on transparency and public engagement. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in government and enterprise environments. It employs modern web technologies including responsive design, accessibility features, and Matomo analytics with user consent mechanisms, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting appears to be managed by regional or state-affiliated providers, ensuring reliability and compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent banners, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not published, representing areas for improvement. The domain WHOIS data aligns with the official nature of the site, with no suspicious indicators. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture and high content quality, suitable for its government function. Strategic enhancements in transparency around security policies and incident handling would further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 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. 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 Ministry for Education, Youth and Sports Baden-Württemberg holds a significant position as a state government entity responsible for educational and sports policy. Its competitive advantage lies in official authority and comprehensive service offerings to the public. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on policy dissemination, public information, and community engagement. Revenue streams are government-funded. Target customers include youth, educators, sports organizations, and citizens of Baden-Württemberg. The site reflects growth in digital engagement through multimedia content and social media integration. Partnerships with other ministries and regional bodies are evident through linked domains and navigation structures.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo). No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and preparedness. The site could benefit from enhanced HTTP security headers and explicit communication of security practices. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears sound but could be improved with formalized documentation and contact points.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, indicating a stable and scalable content management platform. It uses modern front-end technologies including responsive CSS and JavaScript for enhanced user experience. The site loads assets from a dedicated Baden-Württemberg asset domain, suggesting centralized resource management. Matomo analytics is integrated with a consent mechanism, reflecting privacy-conscious data collection. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and security header implementation for further technical robustness.
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.
