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

9 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 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 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

APRÈS holds a strong regional position in Geneva's social economy sector, leveraging a network model to connect over 900 members. Its business model focuses on advocacy, entrepreneurial support, and community engagement. Revenue is generated through member services and events. The organization maintains active partnerships and a visible social media presence, enhancing its outreach. The website content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear navigation and relevant information for stakeholders. Growth indicators include active event programming and job postings. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as lespacedapres.ch and locali-ge.ch, reinforcing its community ties.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the use of Drupal 7, an older CMS version, poses potential risks if not fully patched. The absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or security policies indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file and dedicated security contact channels, which are best practices for vulnerability disclosure and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Upgrade Drupal to the latest supported version or ensure all security patches are applied promptly.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting issues.
  4. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 7 CMS with jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, delivering a responsive and structured user experience. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for traffic and user behavior analysis with IP anonymization enabled. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Technical debt is present due to the use of an older CMS version, which may impact long-term security and maintainability.
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.
