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

The website represents the Fonds für Vorpommern und das östliche Mecklenburg, a regional government fund managed under the auspices of the Ministerpräsidentin des Landes Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It provides detailed information about funding opportunities aimed at supporting economic, social, and cultural development in the Vorpommern and eastern Mecklenburg regions. The site targets public bodies, private legal entities, and individuals involved in regional development projects. The business model is a government-funded grant program with a clear focus on regional development and cohesion. Technically, the site is built on a custom CMS platform (Gaia) commonly used by regional government entities in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with jQuery UI for interactive elements. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible at a basic level. SEO and metadata are basic but sufficient for the target audience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing trust and credibility. Overall, the site is a trustworthy and professional government resource with good content quality and business credibility. Security posture and privacy compliance could be improved by implementing security headers, cookie consent, and publishing security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected.

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

6 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. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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 fund operates as a regional government initiative to support development projects in Vorpommern and eastern Mecklenburg. Its market position is that of a niche public sector funding body with a clear mandate to address regional disparities. The business model relies on public funding and grant allocation. Target customers include municipalities, associations, companies, and individuals within the region. The site demonstrates transparency through downloadable official documents and clear contact points. There is no indication of commercial revenue streams or partnerships beyond government entities. Growth indicators are not explicit but the fund supports ongoing regional development efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes the Landesregierung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and related government portals. Strategic observations highlight the fund's role in complementing other funding programs and its focus on social, economic, and cultural cohesion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML or scripts. The use of standard JavaScript libraries without known vulnerabilities is positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform (Gaia) tailored for regional government use, leveraging JavaScript and CSS with jQuery UI for UI components. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible at a basic level, with a moderate performance profile. SEO metadata is present but minimal. Hosting details are not explicitly available. The site uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts are detected, indicating a privacy-focused approach. The technical stack is stable but could be modernized with enhanced security and performance optimizations. There is no evidence of technical debt or broken elements, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO.
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.
