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

The website www.avusy.ch serves as the official online presence of the Commune d'Avusy, a local government entity in Switzerland. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about municipal services, local news, political life, and community events. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders interested in the governance and social activities of the Avusy commune. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing common web technologies such as jQuery, Splide.js for sliders, and Ajax Search Pro for enhanced search functionality. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor analytics and employs Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, includes standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data, reflecting a good security posture. However, it lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR compliance statements, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, serving its governmental function effectively.

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

8 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 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. 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

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 Commune d'Avusy operates as a small government entity providing essential public services and information to its community. Its market position is that of a local authority with a focus on transparency and citizen engagement. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public administration and community service. The website supports this by offering access to municipal news, political documents, event information, and contact details. Partnerships with neighboring municipalities are evident through linked domains and footer logos, indicating a collaborative regional ecosystem. The site’s content and structure suggest a stable, established presence with a focus on local governance rather than commercial growth or revenue generation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, CSP), and use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness from a security governance perspective. The lack of cookie consent and GDPR compliance indicators also represents a compliance gap. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security culture and compliance visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance statements and data processing details.
  3. Add a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Splide.js for interactive elements like sliders. Ajax Search Pro enhances search capabilities. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses CDN services for some assets, contributing to moderate performance. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement cookie consent mechanisms for regulatory compliance.
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.
