Cranio Suisse® is a Swiss professional association representing over 1,300 active Craniosacral therapists. The organization advocates for its members in public and professional policy contexts, emphasizing quality assurance and providing a broad range of member services. The website is well-structured, primarily in German, with additional language options, and offers comprehensive information about the profession, training, and therapy benefits. The association holds a strong market position within the Swiss healthcare non-profit sector, with a founding date consistent with its domain registration in 2007. Technically, the website employs a mature technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.5, jQuery 1.9.1, RoyalSlider, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The CMS used is bestContent 2.1, indicating a custom or specialized content management system. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features such as skip links and responsive menus. Performance is moderate, with room for modernization, especially updating legacy libraries. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and obfuscates email addresses to reduce spam. However, it lacks visible security headers and a formal security or incident response policy. No cookie consent mechanism was detected, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The site uses Google Analytics and Google Ads, indicating moderate user tracking. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were found. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business profile. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned for its audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve its security posture 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

5 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business profile

Cranio Suisse® operates as a professional healthcare association in Switzerland, focusing on Craniosacral therapy practitioners. Its business model centers on member representation, quality assurance, and education. The organization targets therapists and clients interested in Craniosacral therapy, providing training information, therapist directories, and public awareness content. The association has a stable market presence with over 1,300 members and a history dating back to 2007. Partnerships include web development by bestview gmbh. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and training services. The website supports multi-language access, enhancing reach. Strategic observations include the need to improve digital privacy compliance and security transparency to maintain trust and regulatory alignment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is in use, and email obfuscation reduces spam risks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.9.1) could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No published security policy or incident response contact channels were found, limiting transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may lead to GDPR compliance issues. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site is functional and secure at a basic level but requires improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS (bestContent 2.1) with a frontend stack including Bootstrap 3.3.5 and jQuery 1.9.1, which is outdated and should be updated. It uses RoyalSlider for image sliders and MultiLevelPushMenu for navigation menus, indicating a focus on user experience. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by optimizing scripts and updating libraries. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
