Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.schulraum-riehen.ch serves as the official municipal portal for the community of Riehen, Switzerland, focusing primarily on the school space strategy and related educational infrastructure planning. It targets local residents, families, and stakeholders interested in municipal development and education. The site is built on the Weblication CMS platform and uses jQuery for client-side scripting. The design is professional and consistent, with good navigation and mobile optimization. Structured data is implemented for SEO benefits. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some meta security policies, but lacks comprehensive security headers and privacy compliance documentation. No advertising or tracking technologies were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The domain registration data aligns well with the municipal government entity, supporting high legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and serves its informational purpose effectively, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy and security policy disclosures.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

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 municipality of Riehen positions itself as a proactive local government addressing demographic growth through strategic investments in school infrastructure. The website reflects a government service model focused on transparency and community engagement. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking suggests a public service orientation. The site’s content and structure support clear communication of municipal plans and forecasts, which is critical for stakeholder trust and participation. The use of Weblication CMS indicates a preference for specialized government or institutional content management solutions. The website’s market position is that of a local government authority with a medium-sized community focus. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies, consistent with a municipal entity. The site’s content quality and branding consistency reinforce its role as an official information source.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and a strict referrer policy, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. The site lacks visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Forms and inputs are minimal or not detected in the provided content, limiting exposure to input-based vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weblication CMS platform, a specialized content management system used by government and institutional websites. It uses jQuery as a JavaScript library. The site includes responsive design elements and uses modern image formats (WebP) for performance optimization. Structured data in JSON-LD format is implemented for breadcrumbs, aiding SEO. The site loads CSS and fonts efficiently and uses SVG icons for scalability. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the domain uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts were detected, indicating minimal tracking. The technical implementation supports a professional and functional municipal website but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
