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

4 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 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 website represents a small-sized government entity focused on providing essential public services to the residents of Kölliken. Its business model revolves around municipal administration and citizen engagement through digital channels. The site supports community interaction via newsletters and event listings, indicating active local governance. Partnerships with local organizations like the Gewerbeverein and energy providers are evident through external links. The use of GOViS CMS suggests alignment with Swiss eGovernment standards, enhancing operational efficiency and compliance. The absence of commercial activities or advertising underscores its public service orientation.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is solid for a municipal government portal. HTTPS is enforced with secure cookies, and a cookie consent mechanism ensures GDPR compliance. The use of Matomo analytics is privacy-conscious, avoiding third-party trackers. However, the lack of explicit Content Security Policy and other security headers like X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be beneficial for transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site maintains a good security baseline appropriate for its public sector role.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and local business schema to improve search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-supported technology stack centered around the GOViS eGovernment CMS platform. It incorporates jQuery 3.7.1, Font Awesome 4.7.0, and Magnific Popup for UI enhancements. The site loads scripts asynchronously or deferred to improve performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with skip links and ARIA attributes present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph properties, though no JSON-LD structured data was detected. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple CSS and JS assets. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with room for incremental modernization.
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.
