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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Klinik Barmelweid AG holds a strong market position as a specialized rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland, serving a diverse patient base with comprehensive medical and therapeutic services. Its competitive advantage lies in its multidisciplinary approach, combining somatic and psychosomatic treatments, and its recognized quality certifications. Revenue streams likely derive from healthcare services, rehabilitation programs, and associated therapies. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with dedicated subdomains for jobs, blogs, and educational academies, indicating a mature digital presence and community engagement. Growth indicators include recent EFQM recertification and active event offerings. Operationally, the clinic emphasizes patient-centered care and professional staff, supported by clear communication channels and extensive service information.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a functional cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details represents a compliance gap. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, suggesting potential areas for enhancement. The use of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics is transparent and consent-based, aligning with privacy best practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. It uses jQuery for client-side scripting and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets indicating optimization efforts. The presence of a cookie consent modal reflects compliance with privacy regulations. Technical risks are minimal, though the lack of advanced security headers and incident response mechanisms could pose future challenges. Modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security configurations.
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.
