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

The website karriere-wettingen.ch serves as the official career portal for the municipal government of Wettingen, Switzerland. It provides job listings, apprenticeship opportunities, benefits information, and insights into the community and its workforce. The site targets job seekers and residents interested in municipal employment and training. The business model is centered on public sector employment and community service, positioning the municipality as a regional employer with a focus on service quality and workforce development. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor analytics. The site employs a modern cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, ensuring user privacy and transparency. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO and navigation clarity, supporting a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent opt-in mechanisms, but lacks explicit published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is reasonable for a municipal site, and no suspicious patterns were found. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing formal security and incident response policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site demonstrating professionalism, compliance, and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies, incident response, and vulnerability disclosure to further strengthen user trust and security maturity.

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

5 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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 municipality of Wettingen operates this career portal to attract and inform potential employees and apprentices. Its market position is that of a regional government employer focused on public service and community development. Competitive advantages include official status, comprehensive job and training offerings, and a clear communication channel. Revenue streams are typical of public sector funding rather than commercial sales. The target customer segments are local residents and job seekers interested in public sector careers. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular job postings. The partnership ecosystem includes links to the official municipal website and LinkedIn. Operationally, the site supports recruitment and community engagement, reinforcing the municipality's role as a service provider and employer.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented with opt-in and revocation capabilities, aligning with GDPR requirements. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is an area for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The use of third-party analytics and tag management is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a stable and maintainable infrastructure. The site uses compressed CSS and JavaScript assets for performance optimization and supports modern image formats like WebP for faster loading. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for visitor tracking and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation aids. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and security headers.
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.
