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

2 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 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';…

  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.

    • 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

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

Paimio operates as a municipal government entity providing essential public services to its community. Its market position is that of a local authority focused on governance, community services, and local economic support. The business model revolves around public administration funded by government budgets. The website targets residents, local businesses, and visitors, offering information and services tailored to these groups. The use of third-party analytics and cookie consent tools indicates an awareness of digital compliance and user experience. The absence of commercial activities or e-commerce features aligns with its government sector classification. Partnerships with service providers like Cookiebot and Google Analytics support operational needs. Growth indicators are not explicit but the website's modern design and technology adoption suggest ongoing digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. The use of Cookiebot for cookie consent management shows compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit published security or incident response policies, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. No signs of malware, phishing, or other security threats were found. The security score is good, but improvements could be made by publishing formal security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance trust by increasing policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service documentation to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan with contact details.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging jQuery and DustPress for frontend functionality. It uses Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics integration.

Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved.

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.
