Security score

71/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.visit-bw.com is the official tourism marketing platform for the Baden-Württemberg region in Germany, focusing on promoting cultural, natural, and culinary experiences to tourists and visitors. The site presents a professional and consistent brand image aligned with regional tourism objectives. It leverages modern web technologies such as Next.js and React, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The site integrates a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR standards, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and user consent. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content, which is a notable gap in compliance and transparency. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the data. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is unusual and reduces trustworthiness, although the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

3 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';…
  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

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 business operates as an essential entity in the hospitality sector, specifically in regional tourism marketing for Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It targets tourists and visitors interested in cultural and natural attractions. The business model centers on destination marketing and travel promotion, likely funded by regional government or tourism boards. The website acts as a key channel for disseminating information and engaging potential visitors. Partnerships with domains like toubiz.de and atmosfair.de indicate collaboration with related tourism and sustainability services. The company maintains a medium-sized digital presence with good content quality and branding consistency. Revenue streams are likely indirect, through tourism promotion and partnerships rather than direct sales. The lack of visible contact details and corporate registration information online suggests a focus on public information rather than direct commercial transactions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of a detailed cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations and user data protection. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are recommended to enhance security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's readiness for security incidents and transparency. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the site is secure for general use but should improve documentation and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack based on Next.js and React, which supports server-side rendering and optimized performance. It employs font preloading and asynchronous script loading to enhance page load speed. Cookiebot is integrated for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site appears hosted behind a CDN or security provider, likely Cloudflare, inferred from script sources and cookie consent patterns. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Technical risks include lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which could affect operational trust and security posture.
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.
