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

Bürogeschichten.ch is an educational website dedicated to documenting and showcasing the evolution of commercial professions in Switzerland over the past 150 years. It is affiliated with the Schweizerischer Kaufmännischer Verband (SKV), a Swiss commercial association, and serves as a niche resource for students, professionals, and historians interested in the history and development of office work and commercial careers. The site offers rich multimedia content including images, gifs, audio, and videos to engage its audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Lodash, Swiper, and LightGallery. It is well-optimized for mobile devices and includes standard SEO and accessibility features, although accessibility could be improved further. Performance is moderate, with a good balance of multimedia content and usability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. It implements a cookie consent mechanism and maintains a comprehensive privacy policy compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. It demonstrates good privacy compliance and business credibility but could benefit from additional transparency in security policies and contact information to further strengthen its security and compliance stance.

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

6 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The website positions itself as a specialized educational platform under the umbrella of the Schweizerischer Kaufmännischer Verband (SKV), targeting individuals interested in the history of commercial professions in Switzerland. Its business model appears to be non-commercial, focusing on educational outreach and historical documentation. The site leverages partnerships, notably with kfmv.ch, to enhance its credibility and reach. The content strategy is rich in multimedia, which supports engagement and educational value. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and multimedia integration. The absence of direct contact information and commercial elements suggests a focus on informational value rather than revenue generation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive set of security headers that protect against common web vulnerabilities. The presence of a cookie consent banner and a detailed privacy policy indicates awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in the security maturity. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, which is managed with privacy compliance in mind. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding formal security documentation and contact channels for incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add clear contact information specifically for security incidents or abuse reports.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Consider publishing terms of service to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing a modern and diverse set of JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Lodash, Swiper, Slick Carousel, LightGallery, Howler.js, and AOS for animations. This tech stack supports a rich multimedia experience with images, gifs, audio, and video content. The site includes proper meta tags for SEO and is mobile optimized with responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, likely due to the volume of multimedia content. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but continuous monitoring of library versions is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
