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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 website serves as a government portal for Älmhults kommun, focusing on public service delivery and community engagement. Its market position is that of an essential municipal resource, with competitive advantages including official status, comprehensive service coverage, and integration with local e-services. Revenue streams are typical of government funding rather than commercial sales. Target customers include residents, local businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include active event promotion and news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes local service providers and municipal subsidiaries. Strategic observations highlight a focus on digital accessibility, transparency, and community support.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is good, with enforced HTTPS, secure cookie practices, and GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Compliance gaps include the absence of explicit Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly evident, suggesting an area for improvement. The site demonstrates a security-aware culture through anonymized IP tracking and secure form handling, but could benefit from formalizing incident response contact channels and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers to strengthen security against common web attacks.
  2. Ensure CSRF tokens are dynamically generated and validated on all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party analytics and marketing scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and provide detailed data retention policies to align with evolving GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern and robust technical infrastructure based on SiteVision CMS and React framework, ensuring maintainability and scalability. The integration of multiple analytics platforms indicates a mature approach to data-driven decision making. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, supporting diverse user needs. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and the need for improved security header implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize front-end assets and enhance SEO metadata for better search visibility.
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.
