Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website www.visitsingapore.com/de_de/ serves as the official tourism portal for Singapore, targeting German-speaking tourists and travelers. It provides comprehensive travel information, event details, and business event resources, positioning itself as a key digital asset for Singapore's tourism promotion. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, it leverages modern web technologies including Adobe Experience Manager, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard best practices, although explicit security headers could be further confirmed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with visible cookie consent and privacy policy in German, aligned with GDPR requirements. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but likely due to registry or query limitations rather than privacy protection or malicious intent. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance suitable for a government-affiliated tourism entity.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 Singapore Tourism Board operates this website as a strategic tool to attract and inform international visitors, particularly German speakers. The business model focuses on tourism promotion, event marketing, and providing travel guidance. The site integrates with multiple social media platforms and uses advanced analytics for user tracking and marketing optimization. Its market position is strong as an official government resource, which enhances credibility and reach. The use of Adobe Experience Manager suggests significant investment in content management and digital experience. The site supports multiple languages, indicating a global outreach strategy. No direct revenue streams like e-commerce are evident, consistent with a government tourism board's informational role.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates security best practices such as cookie consent and reCAPTCHA for forms, reducing risks of automated abuse. While explicit security headers were not fully confirmed in the provided data, the presence of modern security tools and frameworks suggests a robust security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for a public-facing government tourism site, with recommendations to verify and enhance HTTP security headers and publish incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Adobe Launch, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and Facebook SDK for social media features. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration, enhancing discoverability. No major technical debt or legacy technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained platform. Opportunities exist to improve loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
