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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The organization holds a strong market position as a regional leader in alcohol addiction support, leveraging certifications such as ZEWO and QuaTheDA to build trust. Its business model relies on donations, secondhand shop revenues, and public service contracts with cantons. The target audience includes affected individuals, families, youth, and institutions. The website content is rich and professionally maintained, supporting growth and community engagement. Partnerships with national and international Blue Cross organizations provide strategic advantages and credibility. The presence of multiple service offerings and community programs indicates a diversified approach to addiction support and prevention.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could be improved. The absence of a security.txt file and limited security headers suggest room for enhancement in transparency and defense-in-depth. Tracking scripts like Mouseflow are used responsibly with user consent. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the security measures align well with the organization's non-profit status and service nature.
Recommendations
Implement and publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and preparedness.
Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and tracking scripts to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with modern front-end technologies including jQuery, SmartMenus, Swiper.js, and FontAwesome icons. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Cookie consent and privacy mechanisms are well integrated. Hosting details are not explicit but HTTPS is enforced. The site structure is clear with comprehensive navigation menus and rich content blocks. There is some technical debt in missing explicit security headers and limited accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively with opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
