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

The website 'Maardu 45' serves as a dedicated platform for celebrating the 45th anniversary of Maardu city in Estonia. It provides residents and visitors with information about the city's history, culture, events, and local government contacts. The site is positioned as a local government information portal aimed at community engagement and city promotion. Technically, the site leverages a modern tech stack including Alpine.js, jQuery, Leaflet for maps, and multiple analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Matomo, hosted likely by Telia Eesti AS. The website is mobile optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and consistent branding. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and formal policies such as privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. The domain is very recently registered, which is somewhat unusual for a city site but may reflect a new dedicated event domain. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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.

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

Maardu 45 targets local residents and visitors interested in city events and history, operating as a government information portal. Its business model is informational and community-focused rather than commercial. The site benefits from partnerships with official city websites and local news portals, enhancing its ecosystem. The presence of official contact details and social media links supports credibility. The recent domain registration suggests a strategic launch for the anniversary event, indicating growth and community engagement efforts by the city government.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, it lacks explicit security headers and formal security policies such as incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap under GDPR. Analytics and tracking scripts are present, but no explicit consent mechanism was detected. Overall, the site is secure for general informational use but should improve privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.
  5. Include incident response contact information for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OnlineExpo CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including Alpine.js, jQuery, Leaflet for interactive maps, and Swiper for sliders. It integrates multiple analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Matomo, and Facebook Pixel, managed via Google Tag Manager. The site uses Bootstrap grid for responsive layout and is optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. The hosting is likely provided by Telia Eesti AS, consistent with the domain registrar. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from improved accessibility and SEO enhancements.
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.
