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 Ausgleichskasse Appenzell Innerrhoden operates as a small-sized government entity focused on social insurance services within its canton. It holds a strong regional market position as the official social insurance authority, collaborating with national Swiss government portals and agencies. The business model is service-oriented, funded by obligatory social insurance contributions. Key customer segments include residents, employers, self-employed, and non-working individuals in the canton. The website’s partnership ecosystem includes official Swiss social insurance and labor market sites, reinforcing its credibility and integration within the national framework. Growth indicators are stable, typical for government institutions, with emphasis on digital service delivery and transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site uses modern libraries without known vulnerabilities, and forms are minimal and secure. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1, Swiper.js for sliders, Fancybox for modals, and Lottie for animations. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external dependencies detected. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to modernize the infrastructure further.
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.
