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

The website www.puplinge.ch serves as the official online presence for the Commune de Puplinge, a local government entity in Switzerland. It provides municipal information, community news, and administrative services targeted primarily at residents and visitors of Puplinge. The site is designed with modern web technologies including Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure with server-side rendering via Nuxt.js. The website is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers and lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicate areas for improvement in compliance and security posture. No forms or contact information were detected in the provided content, which may limit user engagement and support capabilities. Overall, the website reflects a trustworthy and professional government service portal with moderate technical maturity. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would further strengthen its security and user trust profile.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Commune de Puplinge operates as a small local government authority providing essential public services and information to its community. Its business model focuses on governance and community engagement rather than commercial activities. The website positions the commune as a reliable source of local information, leveraging modern web frameworks to maintain an accessible digital presence. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of social media integration and limited contact details suggest a focus on direct municipal communication channels. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not applicable given the governmental nature of the entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic but adequate security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring secure data transmission. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the entity to regulatory risks under GDPR. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from implementing best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve user support and trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update the technology stack to avoid potential vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, with server-side rendering facilitated by Nuxt.js. This setup supports good performance and mobile responsiveness. The site uses HTTPS, which is essential for secure communication. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The performance is moderate, likely due to the use of preloaded scripts and optimized assets. Accessibility features appear basic but functional. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or advertising scripts, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and compliance documentation suggests room for technical improvements.
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.
