Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.petitiounen.lu is the official petition platform of the Chambre des Députés of Luxembourg, enabling citizens to submit and sign public and ordinary petitions. It serves as a government civic engagement tool with a clear focus on transparency and public participation. The platform is well-branded with official logos and provides comprehensive information about petitions, legal notices, data protection, and contact details. Technically, it is built on a modern Angular framework with responsive design and integrates visitor analytics for performance monitoring. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and session management features, though explicit security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is good with a detailed privacy policy and data protection officer information, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is unavailable due to malformed queries, limiting domain legitimacy verification, but the official nature of the content and branding strongly supports authenticity.

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

8 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  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';…

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 platform occupies a unique position as the official government petition site for Luxembourg, targeting residents and citizens interested in parliamentary petitions. It operates under a government service model, providing petition submission, signature collection, and public debate facilitation. The site leverages partnerships with government entities and complies with national and EU regulations. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and democratic participation. The presence of multilingual support and detailed procedural information indicates a mature digital service. No commercial or advertising activities are present, reinforcing its government service nature.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, session timeout warnings, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern frameworks reduces common vulnerabilities, and regular signature validation processes are described. However, the absence of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and a cookie consent banner are areas for improvement. No known vulnerabilities or security incidents are evident from the content. The site appears compliant with GDPR and data protection best practices, supported by a named data protection officer. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and cookie management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Add a visible and compliant cookie consent banner to meet EU GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts, including visitor analytics, to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to move from basic to good or excellent by addressing known issues like keyboard navigation and ARIA roles.
  5. Establish a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 18.2.0, leveraging modern CSS variables and responsive design principles. It uses visitor-analytics.io for traffic monitoring and integrates authentication mechanisms compatible with LuxTrust, GouvID, and eIDAS. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or government-developed platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some accessibility and security header improvements are recommended to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
