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

2 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. 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

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 Land Vorarlberg as a trusted government authority, targeting local residents and stakeholders. Its business model is public service oriented, focusing on information dissemination and digital service provision. Partnerships with Stripe for payment processing and Cookiebot for consent management indicate integration with reputable third-party services. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a preference for privacy-conscious data collection. The site’s content and structure suggest a medium to large scale operation with consistent branding and professional presentation, reinforcing its authoritative market position within the government sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism that blocks non-essential cookies until user approval. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response readiness and security contact channels are not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR requirements and best practices for governmental websites.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Liferay CMS, a robust enterprise platform suitable for complex government portals. It uses jQuery 3.6.0 and integrates Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the comprehensive content and third-party integrations. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize loading times.
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.
