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

The Datenschutzstelle Fürstentum Liechtenstein is the official data protection authority for the Principality of Liechtenstein. The website serves as a comprehensive resource for citizens, businesses, and associations, providing information, guidance, complaint forms, and event details related to data privacy and protection. It positions itself as a trusted government entity with a clear focus on GDPR compliance and data protection education. Technically, the website is built on Concrete CMS and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and the Foundation framework. It uses Matomo analytics, which aligns with privacy-conscious data collection practices. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility basics, though there is room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy as a government entity, enhancing trust. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its governmental role. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response transparency would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 Datenschutzstelle operates as a government regulatory body focused on data protection within Liechtenstein. Its market position is authoritative and essential, serving multiple target audiences including citizens, companies, and associations. The business model is non-commercial, centered on regulation, education, and enforcement of data protection laws. The website supports this with resources such as complaint forms, data protection officer registration, and educational events. The organization maintains a consistent brand and regularly updates content, indicating active engagement. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies, consistent with a government agency. The use of privacy-respecting analytics and official domain extensions supports a trustworthy ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. No signs of vulnerabilities or malicious content were found. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to standardize vulnerability reporting channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS, a mature content management system, and uses the Foundation front-end framework for responsive design. It incorporates jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and icons. The site loads Matomo analytics asynchronously, supporting privacy-friendly tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular, indicating a traditional CMS-based architecture. Hosting details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content.
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.
