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

Lunds kommun operates as the official municipal government website for the city of Lund, Sweden, providing a comprehensive range of public services including education, social support, employment, housing, urban development, and cultural events. The website targets residents, businesses, students, and visitors, positioning itself as a trusted source for municipal information and citizen engagement. The business model is that of a public sector entity focused on service delivery and community interaction. Technically, the website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and React. It incorporates accessibility features, mobile optimization, and SEO best practices. Hosting is managed by Excedo Networks AB, with a domain registered since 1995, indicating a mature digital presence. The site includes multilingual support via Google Translate and integrates cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs cookie consent banners, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit security policies, and incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, Lunds kommun's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance suitable for a government entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

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: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

  2. 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';…

  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

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

Lunds kommun holds a strong market position as the official municipal government of Lund, Sweden, serving a large and diverse audience including citizens, businesses, and visitors. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive service offerings, long-standing domain presence, and integration with local partner organizations. The business model is publicly funded, focusing on community services and information dissemination. Revenue streams are typical of municipal governments, including taxes and public funding. The partnership ecosystem includes tourism, libraries, cultural institutions, and international citizen support hubs. Growth indicators include active event calendars and digital service expansions. The website reflects a mature digital strategy aligned with public sector standards.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth and transparency. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited formal mechanisms for external security reporting. Data protection practices appear adequate, but incident response readiness is not publicly documented. Overall, the security culture is adequate for a government website but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and React libraries for dynamic content and interactivity. It uses Google Translate for multilingual support and integrates Siteimprove Analytics for performance and usage insights. The hosting provider is Excedo Networks AB, with domain registration dating back to 1995, indicating a stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers would modernize the security posture. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and responsive design.
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.
