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

Nacka kommun operates as the official municipal government website serving over 100,000 residents in Nacka, Sweden. The site provides comprehensive information about municipal services including education, social support, urban development, and local politics. It targets residents, businesses, and visitors seeking municipal resources and engagement opportunities. The business model is public sector focused, delivering essential community services and governance information. Technically, the website is built on the EPiServer CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks, SVG icons, and Azure Application Insights for analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, ensuring reliability and scalability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. While explicit security headers are not fully documented in the HTML, best practices are implied. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, Nacka kommun's website is a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for a government entity. It balances user experience, compliance, and technical robustness effectively, supporting its role as a key information and service portal for the municipality.

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

19 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. 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: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Nacka kommun holds a strong market position as a local government authority in Sweden, providing a wide range of public services. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive digital service offerings, including e-services for education, social care, and urban planning. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public welfare and community engagement. Revenue streams are primarily from municipal funding. The target customer segments include residents, businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include active event calendars and digital self-service portals. The partnership ecosystem includes local service providers and digital analytics vendors. Strategic observations highlight a mature digital infrastructure supporting transparent governance and citizen participation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and use of reputable analytics platforms. No critical security issues or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response contacts indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Data protection practices appear sound, with no exposed credentials or sensitive information. The security culture is implied to be proactive but could benefit from formalized disclosure and response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and explicitly declare security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS (EPiServer) with a JavaScript-heavy front end and SVG iconography. It uses Azure Application Insights for telemetry and Vizzit for tracking, indicating a mature analytics setup. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses RequireJS for module loading and integrates external scripts securely via HTTPS. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation. The infrastructure is robust, hosted likely on Microsoft Azure, supporting scalability and reliability.
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.
