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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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

      • CWE-327

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

Bio Suisse operates as a non-profit organization in the organic agriculture sector, providing certification and brand management services for Swiss organic farms. Their business model centers on promoting sustainable agriculture through the Knospe label, which is well-recognized in the Swiss market. The organization leverages partnerships, such as with biomondo.ch, to enhance its ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include certification fees and membership contributions. The target customers are organic producers and environmentally conscious consumers. The website content and social media presence support strong brand awareness and stakeholder engagement. Growth indicators include active digital marketing and compliance with evolving privacy regulations. Strategic observations suggest maintaining leadership in organic certification while expanding digital transparency and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Cookiebot ensures GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools with disclosed privacy policies. Compliance gaps include the lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and governance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to analytics and marketing data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Cookiebot for cookie management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics integration. The HTML and CSS are well-structured, supporting good SEO and accessibility standards. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party script loading. No explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on multiple third-party marketing and analytics services requires ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance and security updates. Opportunities exist to modernize further by adopting progressive web app features and enhancing performance metrics.
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.
