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

The Alliance Police Department website serves as the official online presence for the local law enforcement agency in Alliance, Ohio. It provides community members with access to department contacts, information about divisions, and resources such as crime statistics and ordinances. The site emphasizes community engagement and safety under the leadership of Chief Akenra X. Technically, the site is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, reCAPTCHA for form security, and PayPal integration for donations. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, lack of visible security headers, and missing WHOIS registration data present concerns regarding compliance and trust. The security posture is moderate with some best practices observed but room for improvement in headers and transparency. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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 Alliance Police Department operates as a government entity focused on public safety and law enforcement within the city of Alliance, Ohio. Its market position is that of a local essential service provider with a small organizational size. The department's business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources and supplemented by community donations such as those for the K9 program. The website supports community outreach and transparency but lacks formal privacy and security disclosures. The department maintains active social media channels to engage with the public. Partnerships with payment processors like PayPal and legal code hosting services support operational needs. Growth indicators are limited given the government nature, but the site reflects a stable and consistent digital presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital trust and compliance to better serve constituents and meet modern expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, significant improvements are needed to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and privacy law compliance.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure all communications and improve user trust.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to improve incident response and transparency.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data inconsistencies to improve domain registration trustworthiness and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Fonts and jQuery. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security and PayPal SDK for donation processing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML or CSS. However, the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site would benefit from technical enhancements in security configuration and privacy management to reduce risks and improve compliance posture.
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.
