Risk levelMedium

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

Kaarinan kaupunki operates an official municipal website providing comprehensive information about city services and events to residents and visitors. The website is positioned as a trusted local government portal with a focus on public service delivery. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 9, leveraging modern web standards and integrating third-party services such as Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. The hosting appears stable with Elisa nameservers, and the site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though DNSSEC is not implemented and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website content, confirming legitimacy and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security with DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and security readiness.

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 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
    • 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 serves as a critical communication channel for the city of Kaarina, targeting local residents and visitors with information on municipal services and events. The business model is typical for government entities, focusing on public service rather than commercial revenue. The site integrates with regional partners such as Turku leisure services and recruitment platforms, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of marketing and analytics tools suggests an effort to optimize user engagement and service delivery. The domain's long history since 1991 supports a mature digital presence. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident, consistent with a government portal.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of reputable third-party services. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves DNS queries vulnerable to spoofing attacks. No security.txt or incident response contacts were found, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of Facebook Pixel and Google tracking is balanced with GDPR compliance via Cookiebot, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is recommended to avoid privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by adding official emails and phone numbers for public inquiries.

No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided 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.
