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

Südtiroler Gemeindenverband Genossenschaft is a regional government cooperative representing municipalities and district communities in South Tyrol, Italy. The organization provides a variety of administrative, informational, and digital services to its members and the public, including GIS mapping, event coordination, and digital communication platforms. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and targets local government officials and residents. It maintains a consistent brand presence and offers comprehensive contact and service information. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Leaflet. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates Matomo analytics with user consent mechanisms. Accessibility and mobile optimization are well addressed, and the site includes privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and no obvious vulnerabilities in the frontend code. However, some security headers are missing, and the jQuery version is outdated, which could pose risks. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts is a gap. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but does not contradict the legitimacy suggested by the website content and affiliations. Overall, the site is trustworthy, secure, and professionally maintained, serving an essential government function. Strategic improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and transparency in domain registration would enhance trust and security further.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The Südtiroler Gemeindenverband operates as a non-profit cooperative serving local governments in South Tyrol. Its market position is that of a key regional government association providing essential services and coordination. The business model focuses on membership and service provision rather than commercial revenue. The organization leverages partnerships with regional and national government bodies and digital service providers like Gem2Go. The target customers are municipalities, district communities, and residents requiring local government services. The presence of subsidiaries like Selfin GmbH indicates some diversification. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with ongoing updates and community engagement through newsletters and events.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and user data collection is managed with consent mechanisms. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy with opt-in consent. However, the site uses an outdated jQuery version (1.7.2), which is known to have vulnerabilities. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing a potential risk. No explicit security policy or incident response contact is published, which is a compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities are present in the HTML. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government site but could be improved with updated libraries, enhanced headers, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for privacy and security compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with a custom or regional CMS (RIS CMS). It uses legacy jQuery 1.7.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.17, along with modern libraries like Leaflet for mapping and Slick Carousel for UI components. FontAwesome is used for icons. The site loads asynchronously some scripts and uses Matomo for analytics with event tracking on phone and download links. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with cookie consent overlays and multilingual support (German and Italian). Performance is moderate, likely due to legacy frameworks and multiple CSS/JS files. Hosting details are not explicit but likely on Windows/IIS infrastructure. The site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some modern security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
