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

Stadtbetriebe Unna is a municipal service provider for the city of Unna, Germany, offering a broad range of public utility services including waste management, wastewater treatment, green space maintenance, street cleaning, cemetery management, and fee administration. The website clearly targets local residents and businesses, providing relevant information and service details. The organization appears to be a medium-sized government entity with a stable market position as a local utility provider. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and integrates Matomo for analytics and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, hosted on servers associated with rzone.de. Performance is moderate, with modern technologies and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and employs a consent management platform, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The overall security posture is good but could be improved by adding formal security documentation and headers. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It serves its public service function effectively with clear contact information and social media presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency and incident response readiness to 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

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 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"

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

Stadtbetriebe Unna operates as a government entity providing essential municipal services in waste management, wastewater, green area maintenance, and related public utilities. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive service offerings tailored to the Unna community. The business model is service-oriented, funded likely through municipal budgets and user fees. Target customers are local residents and businesses requiring municipal services. The website indicates a stable operation with partnerships to regional waste advisory services (gwa-online.de) and integration with the city of Unna's main portal (unna.de). Growth indicators are not explicit but the digital presence and service transparency suggest ongoing modernization efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and regional waste management advisory bodies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy compliance is supported by a Usercentrics consent manager. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, and no incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating gaps in security transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits external security engagement. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but NIS2 or other frameworks are not referenced. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal documentation and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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.
