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

Strängnäs kommun operates as the official municipal government website for the Strängnäs region in Sweden, providing comprehensive information and digital services to residents and visitors. The site offers key municipal services such as education, care, housing, traffic, and political information, positioning itself as a central hub for local government communication. The website is well-branded and consistent with the municipality's identity, featuring official contact details and social media presence to enhance community engagement. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including SiteVision CMS, React, Vue.js, and jQuery, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The inclusion of accessibility tools like ReadSpeaker and SiteImprove indicates a commitment to inclusivity and quality. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced HTTP security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, reflecting a solid baseline security posture. Overall, Strängnäs kommun's website is a trustworthy and professional digital platform that effectively serves its public sector role. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and technical hardening would further strengthen its resilience and compliance.

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. 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

    • 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. 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. 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';…

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 website reflects a medium-sized government entity focused on delivering public services to the Strängnäs community. Its business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, and aimed at transparency and citizen engagement. The site integrates with partner organizations such as local libraries, energy providers, and housing companies, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of job listings and event information suggests active community involvement and municipal development. The digital maturity is moderate to high, with ongoing use of modern frameworks and accessibility tools supporting growth and service delivery.

Security posture

The current security posture is adequate for a public sector website, with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. The absence of detailed security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in security transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found, and third-party scripts appear well-managed. To elevate security maturity, the municipality should implement comprehensive security headers, publish incident response procedures, and consider a vulnerability disclosure program. These steps will enhance trust and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration to follow current best practices and improve encryption strength.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, utilizing React 18.3 and Vue.js for interactive components, alongside jQuery for legacy support. It integrates accessibility tools like ReadSpeaker and SiteImprove, reflecting a focus on inclusivity and quality assurance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and features structured navigation for ease of use. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key scripts and stylesheets. There is no explicit hosting provider information, but the infrastructure supports modern web standards. Opportunities exist to improve technical robustness by enhancing security headers and optimizing third-party script management.
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.
