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

Cogito-sport.ch is a Swiss-based software company, Proximity-Softwares Sàrl, specializing in ERP solutions tailored for clubs, associations, and schools primarily in French-speaking countries such as Switzerland, France, Belgium, and Canada. Their software suite includes membership management, course scheduling, automated invoicing, accounting, member portals, online registration forms, surveys, document management, salary management, and internet reservation systems. The company positions itself as a niche provider with a focus on administrative efficiency for community organizations. Technically, the website is built on GravCMS with the Gantry5 framework, utilizing common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Featherlight, and LightSlider. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. No advanced analytics or advertising technologies are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious or minimal tracking approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS as implied by canonical URLs but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Overall, the website is professional and functional with good business credibility but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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)

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

Cogito-sport.ch operates in the technology sector, specifically providing ERP software solutions for clubs and associations. Their business model appears to be subscription-based SaaS targeting small to medium-sized organizations in French-speaking regions. The company leverages a focused product offering that integrates administrative management, financial processing, and member engagement tools. Market positioning is niche with a Swiss origin, which may appeal to local customers valuing regional support and compliance. The absence of social media presence and limited contact channels suggests a direct sales or referral-based approach. Growth potential exists through expanding features and improving digital marketing. Partnerships or related domains are not evident, indicating a standalone operation. The company maintains a consistent brand image and Swiss Made certification, reinforcing trust. Revenue streams likely derive from software subscriptions and possibly customization or support services.

Security posture

The security posture of cogito-sport.ch is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data exposure was detected in the HTML content. The use of an older jQuery version (2.x) could pose vulnerabilities if not patched. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and compliance. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates GDPR compliance gaps. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing security best practices, publishing relevant policies, and updating libraries to improve its security maturity and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to address GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency.
  4. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enforce HTTPS site-wide and verify SSL/TLS configuration for best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on GravCMS with the Gantry5 framework, leveraging jQuery 2.x and plugins like Featherlight and LightSlider for UI components. The site uses compiled CSS stylesheets and custom JavaScript for functionality. Performance is moderate with no evident heavy scripts or trackers. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by meta description, keywords, and canonical tags. Accessibility is basic, with standard HTML structure but no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility features detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The site does not use common analytics or advertising scripts, indicating minimal tracking. Technical debt includes outdated jQuery version and missing security headers. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be modernized and hardened for security and compliance.
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.
