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

Regionalpolizei Wettingen-Limmattal is a regional police authority serving multiple municipalities in the Wettingen-Limmattal area of Switzerland. The website provides information about their mission to maintain public safety, peace, and order in the contractual municipalities. The site targets residents and visitors of these municipalities and operates as a government entity with a small organizational size. Technically, the website uses modern web fonts, Font Awesome icons, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is secured with HTTPS and presents structured data for organization details, enhancing SEO and trust. However, it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and bot protection but could be improved by adding security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, but it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  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

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 Regionalpolizei Wettingen-Limmattal operates as a government law enforcement agency focused on public safety and order in several Swiss municipalities. Its business model is public service, funded and operated by local government. The website positions the organization as a trusted local authority with clear contact information and a consistent brand presence. There are no commercial activities, advertising, or affiliate programs detected. The target audience includes local residents and visitors seeking police services or information. The absence of social media presence or extensive digital marketing suggests a focus on direct community engagement rather than broad online outreach. The organization maintains a straightforward digital footprint aligned with its public service mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files. Enhancing these areas would improve the overall security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve website quality.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts (Inter), Font Awesome 6 Pro icons, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The presence of JSON-LD structured data improves SEO and semantic understanding by search engines. The site is mobile optimized with responsive meta tags and uses minified CSS for performance. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with no major issues observed. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. The technical implementation is solid for a government informational site but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance 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.
