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

The website gesetze.li is an official government legal database operated by the Liechtensteinische Landesverwaltung, providing up-to-date consolidated legal texts and state treaties for the Principality of Liechtenstein. It serves legal professionals, government officials, and the general public interested in Liechtenstein law. The site offers comprehensive search capabilities including full text, titles, abbreviations, and legal reference numbers, with a focus on accuracy and official information dissemination. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Matomo analytics integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. The design is professional and consistent with government branding, optimized for mobile devices with basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and secure form submissions but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. There is no cookie consent mechanism despite the use of analytics, which may present minor privacy compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, and the domain registration aligns well with the official government entity, indicating high legitimacy. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and authoritative source for Liechtenstein legal information, with recommendations to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to further strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Gesetze.li operates as a government service platform providing legal information for the Principality of Liechtenstein. Its market position is that of an official legal repository, which inherently grants it a monopoly in this niche. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and legal transparency. The target audience includes legal professionals, government agencies, and citizens seeking legal texts. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive, up-to-date legal content. There is no indication of revenue streams or partnerships beyond government affiliations. Growth indicators are limited due to the nature of the service, but the platform maintains relevance through continuous updates and integration with government portals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web attacks. The lack of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism despite analytics usage. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, privacy notices, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely supported technology stack including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery 1.11.3. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-respecting tracking tools. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communication. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected but potential for optimization exists. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements present. SEO is basic but sufficient for the target audience. There is no detected CMS or advanced frameworks, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Technical risks are low, but modernization opportunities include updating JavaScript libraries and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
