Kungsbacka kommun operates as the official municipal authority for the Kungsbacka region in Sweden, providing a wide range of public services and information through its website. The site serves residents and businesses by offering digital self-service portals, educational resources, social care information, environmental updates, traffic and travel details, business support, and political engagement opportunities. The website is well-positioned as a trusted government portal with a clear focus on accessibility and user engagement. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, React 18.3.1, and the SiteVision CMS platform. It integrates Piwik Pro for analytics, ensuring data-driven insights while maintaining GDPR compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses nonce attributes for scripts, and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. While no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, Kungsbacka kommun's website reflects a mature digital presence for a government entity, balancing user needs, compliance, and security. Strategic enhancements in security policy disclosure and incident response communication would further strengthen its trustworthiness and resilience.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Kungsbacka kommun holds a strong market position as the official municipal government entity serving the Kungsbacka region. Its business model centers on providing essential public services digitally, targeting residents, businesses, and community stakeholders. The website supports multiple service areas including education, social care, environment, traffic, and business development, indicating diversified service offerings. The presence of multiple social media channels and integration with partner domains suggests an active engagement and partnership ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, accessibility, and user empowerment, which are critical for public sector digital services. Growth indicators include ongoing innovation initiatives and digital self-service expansion. The lack of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its government mandate.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforcement and use of security best practices such as script nonces and secure cookie flags. The cookie consent banner is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting a strong privacy culture. No exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or security misconfigurations were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact channels limits transparency and may impact user trust in security incident handling. The site uses Piwik Pro analytics with privacy considerations, but continuous monitoring and audits of third-party scripts are recommended. Overall, the security maturity is good for a government website but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and incident readiness communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Ensure CSRF tokens in forms are properly generated and validated to prevent cross-site request forgery.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party analytics and tracking scripts for privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance user trust by publishing vulnerability disclosure or responsible disclosure guidelines.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and React 18.3.1 for dynamic content and user interface components. It integrates Piwik Pro for analytics, supporting GDPR-compliant data collection. The site uses modern CSS and responsive design techniques to ensure good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS resources preloaded and asynchronously loaded to improve load times. The use of script nonces and secure cookies indicates attention to security in technical implementation. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further by consolidating scripts and leveraging caching strategies. Technical risks are minimal but include ensuring continuous updates of third-party libraries and maintaining compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
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.
