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

Schweizerische Bodensee-Schifffahrt AG operates a regional transportation and tourism service on Lake Constance, offering ferry and cruise ship services, experience trips, event hosting, and gastronomy. The company maintains a professional website built on WordPress with Elementor, integrating multiple plugins for booking and event management. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices and modern technology usage, including Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of visible security headers, indicates gaps in compliance and security posture. No contact emails or phone numbers were found in the provided content, which may affect user trust and support accessibility. Overall, the website is legitimate, consistent with the business claims, and provides a good user experience for its target audience.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention bodensee-schiffe.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for bodensee-schiffe.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company is positioned as a key regional player in transportation and tourism around Lake Constance, leveraging partnerships with ticketing platforms and local restaurants to enhance its service offering. The business model focuses on passenger transport, event hosting, and gastronomy, targeting tourists and local visitors. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a clear market focus. The integration of online ticket sales and event calendars suggests a digital maturity aligned with customer convenience and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google site verification, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, absence of a published security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism reduce the overall security maturity. The use of third-party plugins requires ongoing vulnerability management. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is moderate but could be improved with better header configurations and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and several specialized plugins for booking and event management. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is current but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance standards.
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.
