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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Business Club CVCI operates as a membership-based networking platform targeting business leaders in the Vaud region of Switzerland. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with the established CVCI and its long-standing presence since 2006. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event sponsorships. The club maintains active engagement through events, a blog, and social media channels, indicating a healthy growth and partnership ecosystem. The website supports these operations with event listings, member access, and newsletter subscriptions, reflecting a well-integrated digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and anti-spam protections are in place via CleanTalk. AJAX calls use nonce tokens to prevent CSRF. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Data protection officer contact and GDPR compliance indicators are missing, representing compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with formal policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Designate and provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a child theme of Twenty Sixteen with Bootstrap 4.3.1 for responsive design. It leverages Gravity Forms for data collection and CleanTalk for spam protection. The site uses jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. Performance is moderate with some external dependencies on CDNs. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes and screen reader text. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern web standards but could improve accessibility and performance optimization further.
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.
