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

The Landesamt für innere Verwaltung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern operates as the official statistical office for the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The website provides comprehensive statistical data, publications, press releases, and services related to official statistics, targeting citizens, government bodies, researchers, and media. It maintains a consistent and professional brand presence with clear navigation and regularly updated content. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Cycle2 for UI elements, with a likely custom CMS backend. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented in compliance with GDPR, and analytics are conducted via Siteimprove with user consent. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent banners but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The domain registration and DNS infrastructure align with official government networks, supporting legitimacy and trust. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good privacy compliance and business credibility. Strategic improvements could include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear contact information for incident response to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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.

    • 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 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';…
  3. 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 Landesamt für innere Verwaltung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern holds a key position as the official statistical authority for the state, providing essential data and reports that support government decision-making, public information, and research. Its business model is public service oriented, funded by government budgets. The site’s target audience includes public authorities, researchers, media, and citizens seeking reliable statistical information. The organization maintains partnerships with federal and European statistical bodies, as evidenced by external links to Eurostat and Destatis. The website’s regular updates and comprehensive content indicate active engagement and a stable operational model. No commercial revenue streams or advertising are present, consistent with its government mandate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could delay response to security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site’s security posture would benefit from implementing recommended HTTP security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including official emails and phone numbers for public inquiries and support.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and magnific-popup for UI interactions and Cycle2 for slideshows, indicating a moderately modern front-end stack. The CSS and HTML structure are well-formed, supporting accessibility and mobile responsiveness. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS signatures detected. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques observed. The site integrates external links to official statistical portals and uses Siteimprove for analytics and cookie consent management. There is room for modernization by adopting newer frameworks and improving 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.
