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

Leva i Östersund is a regional informational website focused on promoting living, working, and moving to Östersund, Sweden. It serves as a portal providing job listings, local event information, and resources for new residents. The site is supported by local government entities and partners, positioning itself as a trusted source for regional information. The content is primarily in Swedish with translation options, targeting individuals interested in relocating or engaging with the Östersund community. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, WPBakery Page Builder for layout management, and Complianz for GDPR cookie compliance. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security and uses Vizzit Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy linked to an official municipal domain. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a good balance of content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements could include enhancing security headers, adding explicit security policies, and improving accessibility to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Leva i Östersund operates as a government-supported informational platform targeting residents and potential movers to Östersund. Its competitive advantage lies in its official backing and comprehensive local content including job listings, housing, education, and community events. The business model focuses on providing free access to curated regional information, likely funded by municipal or regional budgets. The target audience includes job seekers, families, and businesses interested in the Östersund area. Growth indicators include regular content updates and integration with local partners. The partnership ecosystem includes municipal websites and local organizations. The platform supports regional economic development by facilitating relocation and business establishment. SecurityPosture: The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a regional informational site. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA protects user input forms. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant plugin, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security policies and some security headers indicates room for improvement. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be addressed to enhance security culture and compliance. Recommendations: Prioritize implementing security headers and publishing a security policy page. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure process and appointing a data protection officer contact. Regular security audits and updates will maintain a strong security posture. Enhancing accessibility and providing direct contact information would improve user trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Integration of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. Cookie consent is managed with Complianz GDPR plugin, supporting compliance with EU regulations. However, no HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are recommended to prevent common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit security or incident response policies, which are best practices for transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adding missing headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as security or abuse email addresses to facilitate communication.

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.
