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
9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"
This scan found 28 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates in the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on promoting Frankfurt as a travel destination. Its business model revolves around providing visitor information, facilitating bookings, and promoting events and local culture. The website's partnerships with regional tourism and ticketing platforms enhance its service ecosystem. The company appears medium-sized with a well-established market presence. The multilingual support and accessibility features indicate a strategic approach to inclusivity and broad audience reach. The absence of detailed financial or founding data limits deeper business intelligence but the site’s quality and partnerships suggest a stable operation.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance via Usercentrics consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Chatbase requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and disclosure.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
Enhance data protection officer contact visibility and provide clear data retention policies.
Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain excellent user experience.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, indicating a scalable and maintainable infrastructure. It uses modern CSS and JavaScript frameworks, with performance optimizations such as compressed CSS assets and lazy loading of images. The site integrates Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well implemented. Hosting details are not explicitly found, but the presence of security headers and HTTPS suggests a professionally managed environment. Performance is moderate, with room for further optimization in loading speed and resource management.
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.
