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. 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

    • High

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 portal reflects a well-established government entity with a domain age since 2005, consistent with its public service role. It serves multiple sectors including government administration, transportation, social services, education, culture, and environment. The site integrates with partner portals for safety, crisis management, and contributory organizations, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery and information transparency. The presence of detailed contact information, official policies, and social media engagement indicates a transparent and accountable organization. The website's content and structure support effective communication with its target audience, including residents and businesses of the region. Growth indicators include active news updates, project showcases, and multimedia content. Strategic observations suggest ongoing digital maturity with opportunities to enhance security and privacy compliance further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure form handling via Liferay's form validation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially implemented or implied but could be explicitly stated for enhanced protection. The site lacks a published vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels, which are recommended for transparency and security maturity. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing, representing a compliance gap. The use of third-party analytics and monitoring tools is balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is good for a government portal but can be improved by formalizing incident response and disclosure practices and enhancing header security.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing YUI and jQuery JavaScript libraries, and integrates performance monitoring via AppDynamics and analytics through Google Analytics. The site uses combo loading for JavaScript and CSS resources, indicating optimization efforts. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and smart app banners for iOS and Android. Accessibility features are present, including ARIA roles and language attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph protocol. Performance is moderate, with some heavy JavaScript bundles but mitigated by combo loading. The technical infrastructure is modern and stable, suitable for a large government portal. Opportunities exist to modernize JavaScript libraries and enhance security headers for improved resilience.
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.
