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

Bazar de Noël is a community-driven event organizer hosting an annual Christmas market at the Walzwerk industrial area in Switzerland. The event showcases local artisans, cultural activities, and social engagement, attracting a general audience interested in holiday festivities and local craftsmanship. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity with good design and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in compliance and security transparency.

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

10 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)

      • 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"

      • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates as a small, local event entity with a decade-long history, positioning itself as a key cultural and community event in the Münchenstein/Arlesheim region. Its business model revolves around event organization and providing a platform for local vendors and artists. Partnerships with local municipalities, financial institutions, and businesses strengthen its ecosystem. Revenue likely comes from vendor fees and sponsorships. The target audience is broad, including families and community members interested in holiday markets and cultural events. The website supports this positioning with relevant content and partner links but lacks detailed business or contact information online.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no privacy or cookie policies detected, which may expose the organization to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar laws. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy or contact channel to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to maintain security and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Elementskit for navigation menus. It uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Performance is moderate with minified CSS and JS assets, and lazy loading is implemented for images. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and appropriate font sizes. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS and appears stable. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers.
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.
