Gemeindebetriebe Roggwil (GBR) is a publicly owned municipal utility provider serving the Roggwil community in Switzerland. The organization offers essential services including electricity, water, and telecommunications infrastructure such as a fiber optic network. The website is designed to serve local residents and businesses with information, online services like address changes, and contact details. The business operates under a public law institution model since 2017, reflecting a stable local government affiliation. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. While the site lacks explicit security policy documentation, it enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices such as session management and CAPTCHA to protect user interactions. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a good baseline posture with HTTPS and cookie consent but could improve by implementing security headers and publishing incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The domain registration data aligns well with the business identity, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its municipal utility purpose. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility compliance to further strengthen the security and user experience posture.

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

GBR operates as a local municipal utility provider with a clear focus on energy, water, and communication services. Its market position is that of a trusted local government entity serving Roggwil residents. The business model is service-oriented, funded and managed as a public institution. Revenue streams likely derive from utility fees and service charges. The target customer segment is local households and businesses. The website reflects a stable operation founded in 2017 with no parent or subsidiary companies indicated. GBR maintains a straightforward partnership ecosystem primarily with technology providers like Google for analytics and CAPTCHA services. The company demonstrates moderate digital maturity with room for growth in security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent management is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. Google reCAPTCHA integration enhances form security. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The CMS or backend platform is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or less common system. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could be improved with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
