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

BergBuchBrig is a Swiss-based multimedia festival focused on nature, culture, leisure, and mountain adventures. Established in 2006, it has grown into a recognized cultural event with a diverse program including book presentations, exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and excursions. The website serves as an information portal for the festival, providing event dates, program details, and organizational information. The target audience includes culture and nature enthusiasts primarily in Switzerland and neighboring regions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using a professional theme and plugins such as Essential Grid and All in One SEO Pro, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and includes structured data for SEO benefits. However, there is room for improvement in performance optimization and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and employs some email cloaking to protect contact information. However, it lacks visible security headers and formal security policies such as a security.txt or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to reduce risk and improve user trust.

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. 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 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

      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

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

BergBuchBrig occupies a niche cultural event market in Switzerland, leveraging multimedia formats to engage audiences interested in mountain-related culture and nature. Its recognition by the local municipality enhances its credibility and market position. The business model is non-profit and event-driven, relying on partnerships and community support. The website supports multilingual access, broadening its reach. Growth indicators include scheduled future events and active social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes local cultural institutions. Strategic observations suggest focusing on digital engagement and compliance to sustain growth and trust.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and email addresses are protected via cloaking. However, the absence of security headers and formal security policies indicates gaps in defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and readiness. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or third-party scripts, reducing attack surface. Compliance gaps in privacy policies expose the organization to regulatory risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalization and enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file with vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a professional theme and several plugins for SEO, content management, and multimedia display. The use of structured data and Open Graph tags supports good SEO practices. The site loads moderate JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Essential Grid for UI components. Email cloaking is implemented to reduce spam. The site is mobile responsive and uses custom fonts. However, there is no evidence of advanced caching or CDN usage, which could improve performance. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized further for performance and security.
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.
