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

The CO du Belluard website represents a public secondary education institution located in Fribourg, Switzerland. It provides comprehensive information about the school’s vision, administration, student activities, and official educational resources. The site targets students, parents, teachers, and the local community, serving as an informational and communication platform for the school. The business model is that of a government-funded public educational institution with a medium-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a child theme and several plugins including Contact Form 7, Cookie Notice, and Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and moderate performance. The use of HTTPS and a cookie consent banner indicates a baseline of security and privacy awareness, though some improvements are needed in security headers and formal privacy documentation. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for form protection, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with a strong business credibility score. The main risks relate to compliance gaps in privacy and security policy publication. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve compliance and security posture.

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. 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 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Cloudflare

      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

CO du Belluard operates as a public educational institution serving the Fribourg region. Its market position is local and government-backed, focusing on secondary education. The website supports the institution’s mission by providing resources and communication channels for students, parents, and staff. The business model is non-commercial, funded by public means, with no evident revenue streams from the website. The target audience includes students and their families, educators, and local authorities. The institution maintains partnerships with regional government and educational bodies, as evidenced by linked official domains. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site’s regular updates and active content suggest ongoing engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes local government sites and educational support services. Operationally, the institution emphasizes transparency and accessibility, though formal privacy and security policies need enhancement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for form protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy policy documentation. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy-conscious data collection. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security readiness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Improve accessibility features to comply with standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with a professional child theme and several well-known plugins. The tech stack includes jQuery, Font Awesome, and Matomo analytics, indicating a balanced approach between functionality and privacy. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with some scope for optimization. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but likely regional and stable. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further. The technical risks are low but include missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation.
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.
