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

Kiili Vallavalitsus operates as the official local government authority for the Kiili municipality in Estonia, providing a broad range of public services including social welfare, education, environmental management, urban planning, and cultural activities. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and businesses, offering information, e-services, and updates on local governance. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and content relevant to its target audience, primarily local residents and stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay CMS platform and utilizes common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential security vulnerabilities that should be addressed. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates basic best practices including HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms. There is no evidence of advanced security headers or explicit incident response policies published on the site. The absence of vulnerability disclosure and terms of service pages indicates areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by updating libraries and implementing additional security controls. The domain registration details align well with the website's government identity, showing consistency and legitimacy. Contact information is clearly provided, including official email, phone number, and physical address, reinforcing trustworthiness. Social media presence is primarily on Facebook, supporting community engagement. Strategic recommendations include updating outdated libraries, implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing privacy compliance disclosures to strengthen user trust 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.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

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

Kiili Vallavalitsus holds a clear position as a local government entity serving the Kiili municipality. Its competitive advantage lies in providing centralized access to a wide range of municipal services and information through a digital platform. The business model is public sector service delivery, funded by government budgets. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government body. The target customer segments include residents, local businesses, and visitors requiring municipal services. Growth indicators include ongoing updates to e-services and community engagement initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes links to regional government portals and local service providers. Operationally, the website supports transparency and accessibility, though there is room for modernization in technical infrastructure and security practices.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. The main vulnerability identified is the use of an outdated jQuery library version 1.10.2, which is known to have security issues and should be updated promptly. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. There is no evidence of advanced security headers or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Data protection practices appear basic but adequate for a government informational site. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible on the site, suggesting potential gaps in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a privacy policy and cookie banner, but further enhancements could improve overall posture.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other third-party libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Develop and make accessible a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user data handling disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging technologies including jQuery 1.10.2, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization especially by updating legacy libraries and optimizing resource loading. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and a mobile navigation menu. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA attributes and skip links present. SEO optimization is good, with proper meta tags and canonical links. Technical risks include the use of outdated JavaScript libraries and lack of advanced security headers, which could impact security and user trust if not addressed.
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.
