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

The website dardagny.ch serves as the official digital presence for the Commune of Dardagny in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It provides comprehensive information about local administration, political bodies, community services, cultural activities, and practical daily life resources for residents and visitors. The site is well-positioned as a local government authority platform, offering key services such as event agendas, news updates, and a newsletter subscription to keep the community informed. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and Altcha for CAPTCHA verification on forms. The infrastructure appears stable with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Hosting is likely Swiss-based, enhancing regional trust and compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA to protect form submissions, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving its purpose effectively. However, it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance measures, improved security headers, and formalized incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen its security and compliance stance.

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

Dardagny.ch operates as a municipal government website, targeting residents and stakeholders within the commune. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on providing transparent access to administrative, political, and community information. The site supports local governance by publishing council reports, event calendars, and practical guides. Partnerships with local branding and illustration agencies indicate a commitment to professional presentation. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its government entity nature. Growth indicators include active news updates and community engagement via social media and newsletters.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and CAPTCHA integration on the newsletter form helps mitigate spam and automated abuse. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site is secure for general use but should enhance its security framework and compliance documentation to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Create a security incident response page or contact channel to handle potential security issues.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS version 6.8.3 with a custom theme 'dardagny'. Frontend technologies include jQuery, Swiper.js for interactive sliders, and Altcha for CAPTCHA challenges. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted third-party domains related to newsletter and captcha services. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and robots tags but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Hosting details are not explicit but newsletter services are hosted by Infomaniak, a Swiss provider. Overall, the technical stack is modern and suitable for a municipal website but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
