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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

BFU operates in the non-profit sector focused on public safety and accident prevention. Its business model revolves around research, education, and advisory services, supported by campaigns and partnerships such as with Sinus Plus and sichergehen.ch. The organization leverages digital channels and social media to reach a broad audience. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and analytics tools, indicating ongoing efforts to optimize user engagement and impact. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a focus on digital forms and indirect contact channels. The partnership ecosystem and campaign collaborations indicate strategic alliances to enhance outreach and effectiveness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and secure cookie practices including anti-forgery tokens. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with GDPR. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact details limits transparency in security governance. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts requires ongoing vigilance to manage privacy and security risks. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer to strengthen GDPR compliance visibility.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance documentation of data retention policies and user data handling practices for greater user trust.

Notes

The website is built on a modern ASP.NET Core backend with a rich JavaScript frontend leveraging libraries such as LazySizes for image lazy loading and Instant.page for preloading. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and social media pixels for marketing and analytics. The site uses service workers for caching and offline capabilities, indicating a progressive web app approach. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details were not found in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for further performance tuning.
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.
