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

Gemeinde Hasliberg is the official municipal government website serving the Hasliberg region in Switzerland. It provides local administrative information, community services, tourism details, event announcements, and educational resources. The site targets residents and visitors, offering comprehensive local content in German. The business model is that of a government entity focused on public service and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on the concrete5 CMS platform, utilizing common JavaScript libraries and Google services such as Analytics and reCAPTCHA to enhance functionality and security. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA protecting forms, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies.

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. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 27 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  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. 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

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 positions Gemeinde Hasliberg as a local government authority providing essential services to its community. It leverages partnerships with regional tourism and service providers (e.g., haslital.swiss, eumzug.swiss) to enhance visitor information and municipal services. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public administration and community support. The site’s content and structure indicate a stable, small-sized government entity with consistent branding and clear communication channels. The presence of event listings, educational resources, and real estate information suggests active community engagement. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates an interest in understanding visitor behavior to improve services. No commercial or advertising activities are evident, aligning with the government sector’s typical operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and Google reCAPTCHA implemented to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism, which may be a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved with additional headers, policies, and user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security incidents.
  4. Regularly update the concrete5 CMS and all plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider conducting a security audit and penetration test to identify and remediate any hidden risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on concrete5 CMS version 5.6.4.0, which is an older but stable content management system. It uses jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site includes a Revolution Slider plugin for visual content presentation. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and external resources from Google domains. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced modern frameworks but is functional and user-friendly. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the website’s purpose effectively but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
