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

Blaues Kreuz Schaffhausen-Thurgau is a well-established Swiss non-profit organization with over 125 years of experience supporting individuals and families affected by alcohol and addiction issues in the Thurgau and Schaffhausen regions. The organization offers a range of services including counseling, outpatient alcohol withdrawal, group programs, and community engagement through initiatives like the Brocki Pfyn thrift shop and KafiTreff meetings. Their market position is strong within the regional non-profit sector, supported by recognized certifications such as ZEWO and QuaTheDA. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern web technologies including Google Custom Search, Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. However, some improvements could be made in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. It uses Matomo analytics, which is privacy-friendly, but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and security.txt files for vulnerability disclosure. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, and the WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Blaues Kreuz Schaffhausen-Thurgau presents a trustworthy and professional online presence suitable for its mature target audience. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices would further enhance their digital maturity and 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.

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 in the non-profit sector focused on addiction and alcohol counseling. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history, regional focus, and recognized certifications that build trust. Revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, and service fees for certain offerings. The target customer segments are individuals affected by addiction, their families, and employers in the region. The partnership ecosystem includes other regional Blaues Kreuz entities and affiliated thrift shops. Growth indicators include active event agendas and community engagement. The organization's operations are stable with a clear mission and strong brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and privacy-conscious analytics. However, the absence of security headers and incident response contact information indicates gaps in security hardening and transparency. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which could hinder responsible reporting of security issues. Compliance with GDPR is partially demonstrated through privacy policy presence but lacks cookie consent. The organization should enhance its security culture by adopting recommended headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse reports to build trust and preparedness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, ensuring a solid technical foundation. Integration with Google Custom Search and Matomo analytics indicates a balanced approach to search functionality and privacy-aware tracking. The site loads multiple compressed CSS and JS assets, suggesting optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the lack of detected security headers and cookie consent mechanisms points to areas for modernization. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of Google APIs and external services is well managed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
