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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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 DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 website positions itself as a local government portal, offering essential services such as council information, public announcements, and contact points for municipal departments. It leverages partnerships with local institutions like the Grundschule Weichering and integrates external council information systems. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public administration rather than commercial revenue. The site’s content and structure support community engagement and information dissemination, with no commercial advertising or affiliate programs detected. The lack of social media presence suggests a focus on direct communication channels. The website’s consistent branding and comprehensive content support its role as a trusted government resource.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. No WAF or security challenge pages were detected, indicating open accessibility. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which is common for municipal sites but could be enhanced for transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the site maintains a good security baseline appropriate for its public service role.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
  3. Include X-Content-Type-Options header to prevent MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish a basic security policy or incident response contact information for transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Pimcore CMS and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and accessibility. JavaScript is used for cookie consent management via consentmanager.net. The site loads multimedia content such as videos and images optimized for different screen sizes. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN for consent management assets. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility features such as font size controls and high contrast mode are implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain uses multiple authoritative name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities to enhance security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
