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

The website www.chd.lu is the official online presence of the Luxembourg Parliament, providing comprehensive information about parliamentary sessions, deputies, commissions, legislative documents, and public engagement tools. It serves a broad audience including citizens, researchers, and media, offering multilingual content and multimedia resources. The site is built on Drupal 10, indicating a modern and maintainable technical infrastructure with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, though some improvements such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms could enhance compliance and protection. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to registry restrictions rather than privacy concerns, but it slightly impacts trust scoring. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned as a government information portal.

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. 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

    • 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

  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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 Luxembourg Parliament website operates as a government entity providing transparency and legislative information. Its market position is authoritative within the national context, with key services including legislative document access, session calendars, and public petitions. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and civic engagement. The site integrates with partner domains for petitions and proposals, enhancing citizen participation. The content quality and branding are consistent, supporting high trustworthiness. Growth indicators include active updates and multimedia content. The partnership ecosystem is limited to related government or civic platforms.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. GDPR compliance is partially evidenced by a privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but not exemplary.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, a robust and widely supported platform suitable for government sites. The presence of Video.js and Bootstrap-like classes indicates modern front-end technologies. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich multimedia content. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the use of HTTPS and modern scripts suggests a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to enhance performance and security through header optimizations and consent management.
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.
