Stadt Ulm · Government · Germany
Low risk. No critical or high findings.
Stadt Ulm operates an official municipal website providing comprehensive information and services to residents, businesses, and visitors. The site covers city politics, culture, economy, tourism, and offers online citizen services. It holds a strong market position as the authoritative digital portal for the city of Ulm in Germany. The website is well-branded, consistent, and targets a broad audience including citizens and tourists. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and is built on the Sitecore CMS platform. It integrates privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo and offers multilingual support through Conword. Accessibility features and cookie consent management demonstrate a mature digital infrastructure focused on user experience and compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks a publicly visible dedicated security policy or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the official city domain and name servers, confirming legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good privacy compliance and a professional digital presence. Strategic improvements could include publishing explicit security policies and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
