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

Steuerberaterkammer MV is a regional professional chamber for tax advisors in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, operating as a public law corporation. The website serves as an informational and regulatory platform for tax professionals in the region. The site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several plugins to enhance functionality and accessibility. The technical infrastructure is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing some best practices such as security.txt and incident response contacts. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

8 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

  2. 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

    • 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

  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

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 Steuerberaterkammer MV operates as a government-related entity focused on regulating and supporting tax advisors in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its business model centers on professional oversight and member services rather than commercial activities. The website targets tax professionals and related stakeholders in the region. The organization maintains a consistent brand and provides relevant content for its audience. There is no indication of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The site does not engage in advertising or extensive user tracking, reflecting its professional and regulatory nature.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The site should implement security headers, publish a security.txt file, and provide clear security contact information to improve its security posture and compliance with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and accessibility plugins for compliance. The site uses jQuery and other standard JavaScript libraries. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are properly implemented. However, the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and privacy implementations.
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.
