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

Tranemo kommun is the official municipal government entity for Tranemo Municipality in Sweden, providing a comprehensive digital platform for residents, businesses, and visitors. The website offers a broad range of services including news updates, e-services, educational resources, cultural and tourism information, and community support. The site is well-positioned as a trusted local government resource with clear contact information and a consistent brand identity. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.7.1 with modern web technologies and plugins supporting event calendars, embedded media, and table management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although hosting details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. It has discontinued Google Analytics since 2021, minimizing user tracking. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. Overall, Tranemo kommun's website is a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly portal that effectively serves its public sector role. Strategic improvements in security transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen its risk management and compliance stature.

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

    • 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. 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"

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

Tranemo kommun operates as a local government authority serving the Tranemo Municipality area in Sweden. Its market position is that of a public sector entity focused on delivering municipal services and information. The business model is non-commercial, centered on public service delivery. Key services include education, social support, cultural activities, environmental management, and business facilitation. The website targets local residents, businesses, and visitors, providing essential information and e-services. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking reflects a public service ethos. The organization maintains active social media channels to engage the community. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, consistent with a municipal government structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent banner ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The discontinuation of Google Analytics reduces privacy risks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of session cookies for e-services is appropriate. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but would benefit from enhanced security transparency and technical controls such as security headers and a published incident response contact.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.1, leveraging several plugins such as Simple Embed Code, Vastsverige Event Calendar, and TablePress. It uses modern JavaScript and CSS techniques, including Modernizr for feature detection. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate, with some deferred loading of scripts and optimized image sizes. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical stack is standard for a municipal website, with opportunities to enhance security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
