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

Stiftung Habitat is a Swiss non-profit organization focused on revitalizing historic industrial properties in Basel, such as the Aktienmühle, into vibrant creative workspaces and social hubs. Their website presents detailed information about their properties, including the Werkstatthaus and Pförtnerhaus, emphasizing community engagement and support for small businesses and social initiatives. The organization targets creative professionals, social enterprises, and the local community, positioning itself as a niche player in real estate with a social mission. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, integrated via Google Tag Manager. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. However, it lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and security headers, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no exposed sensitive data. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts, which could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the organization's claims, supporting legitimacy. The website is safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable content detected. The overall risk is low, but strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers are recommended to strengthen the security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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"

      • 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"

    • 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';…
  3. 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

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

Stiftung Habitat operates in the real estate and non-profit sectors, focusing on adaptive reuse of industrial heritage sites for creative and social purposes. Their business model centers on property management and community development rather than commercial real estate profit. The organization benefits from a clear niche market, strong local presence, and partnerships with social and creative entities. Their website content and social media presence support community engagement and transparency. Growth potential lies in expanding social programs and creative workspace offerings. The lack of explicit certifications or formal security policies suggests room for maturity in governance and compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of multiple tracking and analytics services indicates extensive user data collection, but the absence of cookie consent mechanisms and security headers presents compliance and security gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. There are no visible vulnerabilities or suspicious elements in the content. Enhancing security headers, implementing privacy consent, and publishing incident response contacts would improve the security culture and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  4. Review and minimize tracking scripts or provide detailed privacy disclosures about data collection and retention.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts, improving performance. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and Slick Carousel for image galleries. The CMS is not explicitly identified but appears custom or proprietary. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. The lack of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are technical debt areas. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization in privacy and security features.
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.
