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

The website www.debrecen.hu is the official online presence of the Municipality of Debrecen, Hungary. It serves as a comprehensive portal providing information and services for residents, tourists, and business stakeholders. The site offers access to local government services, tourism guides, business investment information, and public announcements, positioning itself as a key digital resource for the city. The target audience includes local citizens, visitors, and investors, reflecting a government service model focused on public administration and community engagement. Technically, the website employs a custom CMS with a technology stack that includes jQuery, jQuery UI, Google Fonts, and lazy loading libraries. It demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, although SEO optimization is basic. The site loads with moderate performance and uses multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, all integrated with a clear cookie consent mechanism, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent in compliance with GDPR. However, it lacks publicly available security policies and incident response contacts, and security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The domain registration is consistent with the official municipality, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its role as a government portal effectively. Strategic improvements could include publishing security policies, enhancing SEO, and adding incident response information to strengthen security posture and user trust.

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

5 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Debrecen Megyei Jogú Város Önkormányzata operates as a government entity providing municipal services and information. Its market position is that of an official city government website, offering transparency and accessibility to public services. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public administration, tourism promotion, and business investment facilitation. Revenue streams are typical of government funding rather than commercial sales. The partnership ecosystem includes related city development and investment domains, reflecting a collaborative approach to urban development. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of digital services such as online appointment booking and electronic payments. The website supports multiple user segments: residents, tourists, and business investors, indicating a broad service scope.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers suggests room for improvement in transparency and defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected. The security culture appears to prioritize compliance and user privacy but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and metadata to improve search engine visibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with a technology stack centered on jQuery and related libraries, Google Fonts, and lazy loading for images. It loads with moderate speed and is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. The site includes a cookie consent popup with detailed cookie groupings and descriptions, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The presence of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests a mature approach to user behavior analysis and engagement. However, SEO metadata is minimal, and no structured data (JSON-LD) was detected, representing an opportunity for technical enhancement. The site does not appear to use popular CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, indicating a bespoke solution tailored to municipal needs.
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.
