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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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

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. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, partnerships, and promotional activities. 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. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as certifications and social media engagement.

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

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program with a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. 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.
