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

Občina Vitanje operates as the official municipal government website for the Vitanje municipality in Slovenia, providing a range of e-government services including electronic application submissions, online tax payments, local news, event information, and community engagement tools. The site targets residents and visitors, aiming to facilitate digital interaction with municipal authorities and promote local tourism and culture. The business model is typical of a public sector entity focused on service delivery and community information dissemination. The domain's long history since 1999 and consistent Slovenian branding reinforce its legitimacy and established presence. Technically, the website employs a modern yet straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and TinyMCE, supported by structured data in JSON-LD format for enhanced SEO and accessibility. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. The CMS appears to be a custom or proprietary platform tailored for municipal e-services. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive GDPR policy page but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional transparency and technical controls. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or suspicious domains. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent banners, adding security headers, publishing security policies and incident response contacts, and enhancing accessibility. These improvements would strengthen trust, compliance, and user experience for the municipality's digital presence.

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.

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"

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

Business profile

Občina Vitanje holds a stable position as a local government authority serving the Vitanje municipality in Slovenia. Its competitive advantage lies in providing comprehensive e-government services that streamline citizen interactions and promote transparency. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, focusing on community engagement and local development. Revenue streams are typical of municipal budgets, with no commercial activities evident. The target customer segments include local residents, businesses, and tourists. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and investments showcased on the site. The partnership ecosystem includes cultural and tourism centers and municipal utilities, enhancing service delivery and community outreach. Operationally, the municipality maintains an updated digital presence with regular news and event updates, reflecting active governance and communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and good SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others represents an area for improvement. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is present, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a GDPR policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and remediation of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to better support users with disabilities and comply with accessibility standards.

The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt or deprecated technologies detected.

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.
