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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · 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 as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on youth and community services within Switzerland. Its business model relies on donations, memberships, and educational offerings. The website reflects a clear market positioning as a national youth community leader with a comprehensive service portfolio including events, training, and member support. The presence of ZEWO certification enhances credibility and donor confidence. The digital presence is supported by social media engagement and a structured navigation system. No direct revenue streams from e-commerce or advertising are evident, consistent with the non-profit nature. The partnership with ZEWO and use of Google Analytics indicate a balanced approach to transparency and data-driven insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and IP anonymization in analytics. The cookie consent banner ensures user awareness and compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of explicit incident response or security policy pages suggests limited transparency in security governance. Regular audits and enhancements in security headers and policies are recommended to elevate the security maturity level.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish detailed security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular third-party script audits to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Expand SEO metadata and structured data to improve search engine visibility and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, leveraging JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Mootools, MediaElement.js, RockSolid Slider, and Colorbox for interactive and media-rich content. The site loads external scripts asynchronously, including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in SEO metadata completeness and accessibility compliance. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design elements and mobile-specific navigation icons. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updated security practices and enhanced SEO strategies.
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.
