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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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

    • 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

Battery-Man operates as a non-profit environmental campaign under INOBAT, targeting the Swiss general public to raise awareness about battery recycling. The business model relies on public engagement and partnerships with retailers and collection points. The initiative leverages social media for outreach and provides free resources such as Battery Bags. The market position is well-established with a history since 2012, indicating sustained operations and community trust. The partnership ecosystem includes INOBAT and related environmental organizations. Revenue streams are likely limited to donations or support from partners, with no direct commercial sales emphasized. Growth indicators include active social media presence and educational content expansion. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance security transparency and publish formal policies to strengthen trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers are partially inferred but not explicitly confirmed. The site uses third-party scripts and embeds, which should be regularly audited for security risks. Overall, the security maturity is good for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly, including Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and embedded content for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, utilizing libraries such as TypeIt.js for typing animations and Curator.io for social media feeds. Video content is embedded from YouTube and Vimeo, enhancing engagement. The hosting appears to be managed by Qube AG, a Swiss hosting provider, which supports performance and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility considerations, though these could be further improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset loading and script management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for modernization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
