Risk levelMedium

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

The Thüringer Landtag website serves as the official digital presence of the state parliament of Thuringia, Germany. It provides comprehensive information about parliamentary activities, members, committees, legislation, events, and public participation mechanisms such as petitions and discussion forums. The site targets citizens, media, and political stakeholders, positioning itself as a trusted government information portal. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern responsive design and accessibility features, hosted likely by Deutsche Telekom infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and basic security headers, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap. Social media presence is focused on Mastodon and mainstream platforms, enhancing outreach. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained but could improve privacy transparency and security disclosures.

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

5 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

    • 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

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Thüringer Landtag operates as a government entity providing legislative transparency and citizen engagement. Its market position is authoritative within the regional government sector, offering services like live streaming, document archives, event calendars, and public forums. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and democratic participation. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and digital event offerings. Partnerships appear limited to government-related domains. The site’s comprehensive content and official status support high credibility and user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, no exposed sensitive data, and use of canonical URLs. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy visibility. The site’s security practices are adequate for a government informational portal but could be enhanced to meet best practices and regulatory requirements fully.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency.
  5. Enhance analytics and advertising transparency, even if minimal tracking is used, to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. The front-end employs responsive design with slick slider for interactive content presentation and lazy loading for performance optimization. Hosting appears stable with Deutsche Telekom nameservers. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and canonical links. Accessibility features such as skip navigation and language options are implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in load times and resource optimization. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content.
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.
