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

OWL Verkehr GmbH operates as a regional public transportation service provider and information portal for the TeutoOWL network in Germany. The company offers a range of services including schedule information, ticket sales (such as Deutschlandticket, JobTickets, and SchülerTickets), subscription management, and mobility services like call-collect taxis and night buses. The website targets public transport users in the OWL region, providing comprehensive and accessible information to facilitate mobility. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. It employs Matomo analytics with a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with DomainControl, uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses privacy-friendly analytics. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is limited but consistent with a legitimate regional transportation entity. Overall, the site maintains a good security posture with room for improvement in transparency and security headers. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website presenting a professional, trustworthy, and compliant digital presence. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, adding incident response contacts, enhancing security headers, and maintaining regular security audits to sustain and improve the 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. 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';…
  2. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

OWL Verkehr GmbH holds a strong regional market position as the public transportation authority and service provider in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe area. Its business model focuses on providing mobility solutions and information services to residents and visitors, generating revenue through ticket sales and subscriptions. The company targets a broad customer base including daily commuters, students, and occasional travelers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and consistent messaging. Partnerships with regional mobility services and integration of call-collect taxis and night buses indicate a comprehensive mobility ecosystem. Growth indicators include digital ticketing options and mobile app promotion. The company maintains a focused operational scope without evident diversification into unrelated sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo) coupled with cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The site uses secure forms with proper labeling and autocomplete settings. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance and incident management transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It integrates modern frontend libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design and user experience. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a commitment to privacy. Hosting is managed via DomainControl, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site includes advanced UI components like date/time pickers and sliders. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by adding security headers and ensuring continuous updates of dependencies. The overall technical implementation supports the business goals effectively.
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.
