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

Občina Sežana operates as the official municipal government portal for the Sežana municipality in Slovenia. The website provides a broad range of public services including electronic application submissions, online fee payments, delivery of official decisions, and dissemination of local news and events. It targets residents and stakeholders within the municipality, positioning itself as a key local government service provider. The business model is typical of a public sector entity focused on citizen engagement and administrative transparency. Technically, the website employs a modern yet standard technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and TinyMCE, supported by a custom CMS platform likely tailored for e-government services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Structured data is implemented for enhanced search engine understanding and contact information. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and shows awareness of browser compatibility issues. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive GDPR policy page, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving its purpose as a municipal information and service portal effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy consent mechanisms, security policy transparency, and terms of service publication would enhance compliance 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

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

  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 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

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

Občina Sežana holds a stable position as the local government authority for the Sežana municipality, delivering essential public services digitally. Its competitive advantage lies in providing integrated e-government services, local news, and community engagement tools. Revenue streams are typical of public sector funding rather than commercial sales. The target customer segment is the municipality's residents and local businesses. Growth indicators include active news updates, event calendars, and public tenders. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism sites and local organizations. Operationally, the municipality leverages digital tools to enhance transparency and citizen participation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and secure login mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The absence of a published incident response contact or security policy limits transparency in handling security incidents. GDPR compliance is evident but incomplete due to missing cookie consent banners. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalizing incident response and enhancing header protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service page outlining user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and incident handling transparency.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform with standard web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, ensuring responsive design and accessibility. Structured data in JSON-LD format improves SEO and semantic clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to image-heavy content and carousel scripts. The site includes multiple interactive elements such as search forms, event calendars, and public tender listings. There is no evidence of modern SPA frameworks or advanced caching mechanisms, indicating potential areas for modernization. Hosting details are not explicit, but SSL configuration is excellent, suggesting a reputable hosting environment.
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.
