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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 company operates in the transportation sector as an essential regional mobility provider. Its market position is focused on the Sachsen-Anhalt region, offering key services such as regional rail and bus lines and travel information. The business model centers on public service and information dissemination rather than direct sales. Partnerships with related domains such as fahrgastforum.de and insa.de indicate a collaborative ecosystem supporting public transport users. The website content and structure reflect a medium-sized organization with a clear focus on user experience and compliance. Growth indicators include integration of modern digital tools and multilingual support. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages trusted technologies to support its operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and a published security policy or incident response contact limits the overall security maturity. The use of third-party scripts is controlled, but ongoing monitoring is recommended. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and additional header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve communication with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It integrates several JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Cookiebot for cookie consent management and ReadSpeaker for accessibility. The INSA Fahrplanauskunft integration provides dynamic travel planning functionality. The site is hosted on servers using DomainControl nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual support. The technical implementation is modern and aligns well with the business needs, though some improvements in security headers and performance tuning could be beneficial.
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.
