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

The website www.lostorf.ch serves as the official municipal portal for the Gemeinde Lostorf in Switzerland. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local government services, political updates, cultural events, education, and administrative resources. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders seeking access to community services and information. The business model is that of a public government entity focused on transparency and service delivery. Technically, the website is built on the i-web.ch CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript modules and responsive CSS. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a moderate performance profile. While basic SEO and accessibility features are present, there is room for enhancement in security headers and advanced SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs anonymized web analytics with user consent mechanisms, reflecting a good privacy posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response contact details suggests opportunities for strengthening security practices. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or technical setup. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR principles. It effectively serves its purpose as a municipal information hub with a low risk profile. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies would further enhance its security posture and user trust.

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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business profile

Lostorf's municipal website positions itself as a key information and service portal for local residents, offering online access to administrative services, event calendars, and political information. Its competitive advantage lies in providing centralized, official content tailored to the community's needs. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. Revenue streams are not applicable. The target audience includes residents, local businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include regular content updates and event postings. The partnership ecosystem appears limited to local government and service providers. Operationally, the site reflects a stable, small-scale municipal digital presence with consistent branding and content quality.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and user privacy is respected through anonymized analytics and consent banners. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could impact readiness for security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be improved with more detailed privacy and security documentation. The security culture appears basic but adequate for a municipal site.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly cover all data processing activities and retention policies.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Consider adding accessibility improvements and advanced SEO optimizations to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern CMS platform (i-web.ch) with modular JavaScript and responsive CSS, supporting mobile devices well. The hosting appears to be Swiss-based, supporting data sovereignty and privacy. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image delivery and script loading. The site lacks advanced technical SEO features and accessibility enhancements. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security header implementation is missing, which is a technical gap. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and suitable for the municipal use case.
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.
