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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The Städtetag Rheinland-Pfalz holds a significant position as a municipal advocacy group within Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. It leverages its website to communicate policy positions, news, and events to its members and the public. The organization benefits from partnerships with local governments and possibly state agencies. Its content and services focus on municipal finance, climate action, digital transformation, and community engagement. The business model is non-commercial, relying on membership and governmental cooperation. Growth indicators include active event management and topical content updates. The website reflects a stable and mature digital presence supporting its mission.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of security headers, and integrity checks on scripts and fonts. The inclusion of Google Invisible reCAPTCHA indicates protection against automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by formalizing and publishing security governance documents.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
Provide clear incident response contact information, including security-specific email addresses.
Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers on the site.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern CMS (ionas4) with a JavaScript-heavy frontend including AngularJS and SystemJS module loading. It employs Subresource Integrity for scripts and fonts, enhancing security. Hosting is via Deutsche Telekom, suggesting reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with autoplay sliders and multiple images, but mobile optimization and accessibility are good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks include reliance on older AngularJS and jQuery versions, which may require updates. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and secure user experience.
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.
