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

The website 'regierung.li' is the official online presence of the Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein. It serves as a comprehensive portal providing information about government members, ministries, media releases, services, and contact details. The site targets citizens, media, and international partners seeking authoritative information on Liechtenstein's government activities. The business model is informational and communicative, positioning itself as the primary government information source in the country. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Blazor for frontend interactivity, jQuery, and Swiper.js for UI components, alongside Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and disables cookies in analytics to enhance privacy. However, it lacks several security headers and does not provide explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy, though a cookie consent mechanism is absent. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-aligned with its government function. Recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, publishing security policies, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture and user trust.

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

5 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 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 government website holds a strong market position as the official source of governmental information for Liechtenstein. It benefits from clear branding, consistent content, and a well-structured navigation system. The site supports transparency and communication with citizens and partners through news, event calendars, and media portals. Its partnership ecosystem includes other official government domains such as llv.li and landtag.li. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and information dissemination. Growth indicators include active news updates and multilingual support. The site does not engage in advertising or affiliate marketing, maintaining a professional government presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics configuration. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No forms or user input fields reduce attack surface. Lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicates potential gaps in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through a detailed privacy policy. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance defenses and user trust by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Optimize site performance and hosting infrastructure to improve loading speed and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered around Blazor, enabling rich client-side interactivity with .NET integration. jQuery and Swiper.js support UI components and sliders. Matomo analytics is configured with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy awareness. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. No common CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are notable technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure supports the site's informational goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
