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

Gemeinde Gunzgen is a municipal government website serving the local community in Switzerland. It provides a broad range of public services and information including politics, administration, education, social services, events, and waste management. The site targets residents and visitors seeking official information and online services such as the Online-Schalter. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and consistent with the branding of a local government entity. Technically, the site uses a modern CMS platform (i-web CMS) with standard web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. The site employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a reasonable level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and anonymizes web statistics data, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is supported by a clear privacy policy and cookie consent banner, aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility as a government entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further improve trust and security 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

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 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 DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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

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 website represents a small-sized local government entity focused on serving the Gunzgen community in Switzerland. Its business model is public sector service provision, with key services including online administrative services, political and administrative information, education, social services, and community events. The site positions itself as the authoritative source for municipal information, targeting residents and local stakeholders. There is no indication of commercial revenue streams or partnerships. The presence of external links to official Swiss services like eumzug.swiss suggests integration with national digital services. The website's content and structure indicate a stable, well-maintained digital presence consistent with public sector standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and anonymized web analytics. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and a publicly available security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is a gap. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  5. Consider periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the i-web CMS platform, utilizing modern web standards such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The presence of Bootstrap-like classes suggests responsive design for mobile optimization. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, including legacy and main scripts, indicating a modular front-end architecture. Performance is moderate with carousel image sliders and dynamic search features. SEO is supported by meta keywords, descriptions, and structured navigation menus. Accessibility features include skip links and ARIA labels. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available 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.
