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

Hämeenlinna's official website serves as a comprehensive digital portal for the city, providing extensive information and services related to housing, education, wellbeing, culture, tourism, and economic development. The site targets residents, visitors, and businesses, positioning itself as a trusted municipal resource. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Cookiebot, ensuring good SEO and privacy compliance mechanisms. The use of Matomo and Google Analytics indicates a mature approach to user analytics, although privacy policy documentation is lacking. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and cookie consent, but could be improved with additional security headers and published policies. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, reflecting the city's stature and commitment to digital service delivery.

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

3 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. 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 reflects a large government entity focused on public service delivery across multiple sectors including housing, environment, education, culture, and economic development. It leverages partnerships with local organizations and integrates external services for transportation, culture, and tourism. The business model is service-oriented, funded by municipal resources, targeting citizens and visitors. The site demonstrates strategic use of digital tools to enhance engagement and transparency, though it lacks some compliance documentation. Growth indicators include multilingual support and extensive content coverage. The partnership ecosystem is robust with links to cultural institutions, transport providers, and regional services.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, session management cookies, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, the absence of publicly available privacy and security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels represents compliance and transparency gaps. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing cookies is transparent via Cookiebot, but ongoing monitoring and policy publication are recommended to maintain compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy documents accessible from the footer or main navigation.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, Cookiebot for cookie management, and Matomo for analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. The presence of detailed meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) supports SEO efforts. Hosting details are not explicit but analytics are hosted on Matomo Cloud. The site uses multiple external domains for services and content, all relevant and reputable. Technical risks are minimal but could be mitigated by enhanced security headers and updated compliance documentation.
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.
