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

The website www.hagnau-schaenzli.ch serves as an official municipal government portal for the community of Muttenz, Switzerland, focusing on urban development projects in the Hagnau and Schänzli areas. It provides detailed information about cooperative neighborhood planning procedures and private construction concepts, targeting local residents and stakeholders interested in community development. The site is positioned as a trusted source for project updates and community engagement within the local government sector. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking and performance monitoring. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with a clear navigation structure and professional design. However, it lacks some advanced accessibility features and explicit SEO enhancements beyond basic meta tags. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, which is a positive privacy measure. Nonetheless, it lacks critical HTTP security headers and does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance and overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, and no contact information is readily available on the homepage, which could hinder user trust and support. Overall, the website is a reliable and professional municipal information portal with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in cookie consent, security headers, and transparent contact channels would strengthen its trustworthiness 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

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 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. 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. 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

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 local government entity focused on urban and neighborhood development projects in Muttenz, Switzerland. Its market positioning is that of a public sector information portal, providing transparency and community involvement in municipal planning. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public service and information dissemination. Key services include project updates, community participation facilitation, and urban planning documentation. The target audience comprises local residents, planners, and stakeholders. The site leverages partnerships with local architectural firms and municipal bodies, as evidenced by linked domains and project credits. Growth indicators are limited due to the governmental nature, but the site maintains consistent branding and content quality aligned with its mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented with IP anonymization in analytics, which is commendable. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism indicates incomplete GDPR compliance. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which limits transparency and preparedness. No forms or input fields are present on the homepage, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but requires enhancements to meet modern compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add essential HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Include visible and verified contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and support.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system suitable for governmental and enterprise websites. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with IP anonymization enabled. The site includes modern JavaScript libraries such as GLightbox and Slick Carousel for UI components. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets indicating optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by viewport meta tags and responsive grid layouts. SEO is addressed through meta descriptions, keywords, and Open Graph tags, although no JSON-LD structured data was found. Accessibility is basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks beyond standard HTML5 elements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced 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.
