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

Gemeinde Urdorf operates an official municipal website providing residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local services, politics, events, and community projects. The site serves as a primary digital interface for the municipality, offering online service portals such as an online counter for administrative services, room reservations, and waste disposal information. The target audience primarily consists of local citizens and stakeholders interested in municipal affairs. Technically, the website is built on the i-web.ch CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and SVG graphics. It incorporates Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring secure data transmission. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and secure login mechanisms with multi-factor authentication recommendations. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publicly disclose an incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with clear contact information and privacy policies aligned with GDPR requirements. The domain registration details are consistent with the municipality's identity, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic improvements could include enhancing security headers and publishing a security contact or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

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. 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 positions Gemeinde Urdorf as a small government entity focused on delivering municipal services digitally. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a centralized, accessible platform for residents to access services and information. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public administration budgets. The site integrates with regional partners such as public transport authorities and relocation services, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include digital service expansion and community engagement via newsletters and social media. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, spanning local, regional, and national service providers, enhancing the municipality's service offerings and outreach.

Security posture

The current security posture is solid with mandatory HTTPS and secure login forms. The recommendation for multi-factor authentication indicates awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of security headers and a formal incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. Data protection practices appear compliant with GDPR, supported by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide a dedicated security contact email to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Enhance incident response documentation and make it accessible to users and security researchers.
  4. Continue promoting multi-factor authentication for user accounts to strengthen access security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no privacy or security risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (i-web.ch) with a clean HTML5 structure and responsive design. It uses asynchronous loading for analytics scripts and modular JavaScript imports, indicating a contemporary frontend architecture. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image delivery and script loading. Accessibility is addressed with ARIA roles and keyboard navigable elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation menus. The hosting environment appears stable and likely Swiss-based, supporting data sovereignty and privacy compliance. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by adding security headers and optimizing resource loading.
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.
