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

Ogden City operates an official municipal government website serving residents, businesses, and visitors of Ogden, Utah. The site provides comprehensive access to city services, community resources, government agendas, and contact information. It maintains a consistent brand presence and integrates social media channels to engage the community. The website is built on a CivicPlus CMS platform and leverages modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools to monitor performance and user engagement. While the site is well-structured and professionally designed, it lacks some advanced privacy compliance features such as explicit cookie consent and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS data is typical for government domains due to privacy protections and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid digital infrastructure suitable for a government entity.

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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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

Ogden City positions itself as a key municipal government entity providing essential services and information to its community. The website supports multiple service areas including public safety, utilities, community events, and business development. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, and focused on transparency and accessibility. The presence of job listings and bid opportunities indicates active civic engagement and operational transparency. The site’s integration with social media and external service providers reflects a modern approach to citizen communication. Growth indicators include ongoing infrastructure projects and community programs. The partnership ecosystem includes local government agencies and service providers, though no commercial partnerships are evident.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses anti-forgery tokens in forms, indicating a baseline security posture. It employs telemetry and error tracking for monitoring. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is present. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information if possible to improve domain transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 2.2.4 and AlpineJS 3.14.1, indicating partial modernization. The CivicPlus CMS platform provides structured content management tailored for government sites. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and font resources. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. There is some technical debt in older jQuery versions and conditional IE scripts, but overall the infrastructure is stable and functional for its purpose.
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.
