The website 20ans20francs.ch represents a government-supported initiative by the Canton of Geneva to provide a discount card for youth under 21 years old, facilitating access to cultural and sports activities. The service is well positioned as an official program with clear partnerships and a focused target audience. The website content is professionally presented in French, with good navigation and relevant information for its users. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO and GDPR compliance, and it employs Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 business operates within the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on youth engagement through cultural and sports discounts. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing by the Canton and City of Geneva, ensuring legitimacy and broad partner networks. The business model is service-oriented, funded and managed by government entities, targeting young residents of Geneva. Revenue streams are likely indirect, through government budgets rather than direct sales. The partnership ecosystem includes local cultural venues and sports organizations, enhancing value for cardholders. Growth potential is tied to youth population and cultural engagement initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which are recommended for transparency and readiness. The use of third-party tracking (Facebook Pixel) is disclosed via cookie consent, aligning with privacy regulations. Regular updates and additional security headers would further strengthen defenses. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider expanding privacy disclosures to include data retention policies and detailed third-party data sharing information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with current versions of core and plugins, including Yoast SEO and Complianz GDPR for compliance and SEO optimization. It uses jQuery and Facebook Pixel for interactivity and analytics. Performance is moderate, with responsive design and lazy loading of images improving mobile experience. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information but benefits from HTTPS and CDN usage for fonts and scripts. Technical debt appears low, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
