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

ACTS is a Swiss-based educational organization specializing in leadership and vocation training with a Christian focus. Their website offers detailed information about their training modules, intensive programs, cultural training, and community living options. The organization targets individuals seeking to deepen their calling and leadership skills through biblical study and practical training. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern WordPress technologies and plugins, including WPBakery, Slider Revolution, and Everest Forms. Social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube supports their outreach efforts. Technically, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager with consent mode configured to deny personalization and ad storage in the EU/CH region, reflecting some privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap. Security headers are not detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist, indicating room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible, with consistent WHOIS data supporting legitimacy. The site is safe for general audiences, with no adult or explicit content. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and establishing incident response documentation to enhance compliance and security maturity.

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. 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';…

  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

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

ACTS operates in the niche education sector focused on Christian leadership and vocation training. Their business model revolves around delivering structured training modules, intensive courses, and cultural immersion experiences. The organization appears small but well-positioned within its market, leveraging digital channels and social media for engagement. Revenue streams likely include training fees and donations (implied by a 'Spenden' page). The lack of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper financial insights. Partnerships with social media platforms and use of Google services indicate a modern digital marketing approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google Analytics consent mode configured to restrict data collection in sensitive regions. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts suggests limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Implementing security headers, CAPTCHA on forms, and publishing security documentation would significantly improve their security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and Swiss data protection laws.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent abuse.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate readiness and build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Everest Forms for content and form management. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics with consent mode enabled. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted third parties. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider assets but overall good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the HTML content.
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.
