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

Cumberland County, Pennsylvania operates an official government website providing residents and visitors with comprehensive information about county government, services, news, and events. The site serves as a central hub for public resources including public meetings, elections, licensing, and community engagement. The website is positioned as the authoritative source for county-related information and services, targeting local citizens and stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on the CivicPlus CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and AlpineJS, and integrates analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and Azure Application Insights. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with a professional design and clear navigation structure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and anti-forgery tokens, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which slightly reduces trustworthiness, but the .gov domain and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is a well-maintained government portal with moderate technical sophistication and a good security baseline.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

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 represents a government entity providing essential public services and information. Its market position is that of an official county government portal, with no direct commercial activities. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on transparency, community engagement, and public resource dissemination. Key services include government information, public meeting schedules, licensing, elections, and community projects. The site integrates with social media platforms to extend outreach. Growth indicators include active news updates and event calendars. The partnership ecosystem includes links to state and local agencies, but no commercial partners are evident. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining trust and compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and anti-forgery tokens implemented in forms to prevent CSRF attacks. Use of Azure Application Insights indicates monitoring capabilities. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security posture by adopting additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the CivicPlus CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and AlpineJS. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Azure Application Insights for analytics and telemetry. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features, supported by Monsido scripts. Performance is moderate, with some large images and multiple scripts loaded. The site uses responsive design and semantic HTML elements. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of some security headers. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and enhance security headers. The technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly government portal.
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.
