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

Södertälje kommun operates as the official municipal government website for the Södertälje municipality in Sweden, providing a broad range of public services including education, social support, cultural activities, urban planning, environmental management, and political governance. The website targets local residents and citizens, offering access to e-services, news, and contact information. It holds a strong position as a trusted government entity with a large organizational size and a comprehensive service portfolio. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as JavaScript frameworks, Google Fonts, Material Icons, and integrates advanced analytics tools including Microsoft Application Insights, Vizzit Analytics, and Confirmit Digital Feedback. The site is built likely on the Episerver CMS platform, optimized for mobile devices, and includes accessibility features. Performance is moderate with good SEO and structured navigation. From a security standpoint, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms, and integrates telemetry for monitoring. However, explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts are absent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie management. Overall, the website is professionally maintained, trustworthy, and compliant with relevant privacy regulations. Strategic improvements could include enhanced security header implementation and formal vulnerability disclosure processes to further strengthen security posture.

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

19 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Södertälje kommun functions as a local government authority serving the municipality of Södertälje, Sweden. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive public service offerings and strong community engagement through digital channels. The business model is publicly funded, focusing on delivering essential municipal services. Revenue streams are government budgets and public funding. The target customer segment is the local population and businesses within the municipality. Growth indicators include digital service adoption and community feedback mechanisms. The partnership ecosystem includes local companies such as Telgebolagen, Destination Södertälje, and Södertälje Science Park, supporting municipal development and innovation. Strategic observations highlight a focus on digital transformation and citizen-centric services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent mechanisms ensuring user privacy. The integration of Microsoft Application Insights and other analytics tools indicates active monitoring and telemetry. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages were found, limiting transparency on security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified, and no outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and implementing security.txt for vulnerability disclosure to enhance security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are introduced.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible trust indicators such as certifications or compliance badges.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack with JavaScript, Google Fonts, and Material Icons, likely powered by the Episerver CMS platform. It integrates multiple analytics and feedback tools including Microsoft Application Insights, Vizzit Analytics, Confirmit Digital Feedback, and Kindly Chat, indicating a focus on user experience and data-driven improvements. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with deferred loading of styles for performance. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but the use of Azure Application Insights suggests Microsoft Azure infrastructure involvement.
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.
