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

stadtplan.net is a German-language website providing precise city maps, cartography, route planning, and local business directory services. Operated by Verwaltungs-Verlag GmbH & Co. Betriebs OHG, it targets local residents and visitors seeking up-to-date regional information. The website offers user-friendly features such as autocomplete search and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Technically, it relies on older but stable JavaScript libraries like jQuery and jQuery UI, with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though the absence of explicit security headers and incident response policies suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some trust concerns despite the professional presentation and comprehensive legal pages. Overall, the site is functional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

4 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.

    • 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

    • 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

  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
  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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 government and local information sector, providing mapping and directory services primarily for German users. Its market position is niche, focusing on regional cartography and public facility information. The business model appears to be service-oriented, possibly monetized through advertising or premium listings, though no explicit monetization details are visible. The company maintains a consistent brand and legal presence, with clear copyright and legal disclaimers. The partnership with Verwaltungs-Verlag GmbH & Co. Betriebs OHG suggests a stable operational base. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and improving technical infrastructure. The absence of social media and limited contact information may restrict customer engagement and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security standards. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The WHOIS data inconsistency raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which is a moderate risk factor. No known vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers to facilitate user communication.
  5. Consider updating JavaScript libraries to more recent versions to reduce potential security risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with PHP backend (implied), jQuery 1.9.1, and jQuery UI 1.10.4 for frontend interactivity. CSS is modular with separate stylesheets for general structure, tablet, and mobile layouts, indicating responsive design efforts. The site loads external scripts for cookie consent management (CookieFirst) and autocomplete functionality. No modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, suggesting a custom or legacy implementation. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations noted. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes and live regions used in forms. SEO is supported by meta tags including description, keywords, and multiple Google site verification tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
