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

The website www.opendata.li is the official open data portal of the Liechtenstein National Administration, providing public access to various government data sets. It serves private individuals, businesses, and national administration entities, positioning itself as a trusted government data provider. The portal offers multilingual support and clear navigation, reflecting a professional and consistent brand image aligned with government standards. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTTPS, Matomo analytics with opt-out capabilities, and security headers, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, it lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and a dedicated security policy page, which are areas for improvement. Security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with GDPR principles, though enhancements in privacy transparency and incident response readiness are recommended.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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. 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

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

The portal operates under the Liechtensteinische Landesverwaltung, targeting government stakeholders and the public interested in open data. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on transparency and data accessibility. The site benefits from strong government backing, enhancing its market position as the authoritative source for Liechtenstein's public data. Partnerships with related government domains such as www.llv.li and statistikportal.li strengthen its ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel primarily via contact forms. The portal's growth potential lies in expanding data offerings and improving user engagement through enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible security vulnerabilities. The use of Matomo analytics with opt-out options reflects privacy-conscious tracking practices. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. No evidence of exposed credentials or sensitive data was found. Compliance with GDPR is inferred from the privacy policy but could be strengthened with explicit cookie consent and clearer data retention disclosures. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from formalizing its security governance and incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear and accessible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks followed.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide direct security incident contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by including official phone numbers and emails for support and inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, CSS, SVG graphics, and Matomo analytics for user tracking. The HTML structure is valid and supports good SEO and accessibility practices. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though no explicit performance metrics were available. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the domain is government-owned and likely hosted on secure infrastructure. The site lacks a CMS indication, suggesting a custom or government-managed platform. Technical risks are minimal, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and incident response transparency through technical and content updates.
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.
