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.

Priority findings

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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

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
Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH is positioned as the official tourism marketing entity for Stuttgart, targeting tourists and visitors seeking cultural, leisure, and event experiences. The business model revolves around promoting tourism, facilitating bookings for city tours and events, and providing comprehensive travel information.

The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including regional tourism bodies and sustainability initiatives. Growth indicators include multilingual support and integration of modern digital marketing tools.

Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Privacy compliance is robust with Cookiebot managing consent and a detailed privacy policy in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or security policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site does not currently provide a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure channel, which could enhance transparency and security readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure program with a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for GDPR compliance, and interactive JavaScript components for user engagement. The presence of React Date Picker styles suggests use of React or similar frameworks for UI elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with multiple external resources loaded asynchronously. No CMS is explicitly detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by optimizing resource loading and implementing additional security headers.
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.
