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.

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 targets a broad audience including citizens, businesses, and newcomers to the municipality. It provides key services such as booking appointments for citizen services, information on local policies, and cultural events. The business model is a public service platform funded by the municipality. The domain age of over 25 years supports the legitimacy and established nature of the entity. The site integrates third-party services for analytics and accessibility but maintains a clear focus on government transparency and service delivery. No commercial advertising or affiliate programs are present, aligning with its public sector role.

Security posture

The site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent compliant with GDPR, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers like CSP or HSTS represents areas for enhancement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which is a common gap in municipal websites but recommended for improved security culture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of trusted third-party libraries and monitoring tools like Monsido adds to the security monitoring capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It leverages modern lazy loading for images and includes accessibility enhancements via Monsido. The site loads moderately fast and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management system. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security hardening.
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.
