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

Das Narr is a Swiss literary magazine established in 2011, focusing on publishing young and fresh literary voices. The website serves as an e-commerce platform for selling magazine issues and related merchandise, and it actively engages its audience through social media channels like Instagram and Facebook. The site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern plugins and themes to deliver a good user experience. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO and structured data. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some security best practices, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche market.

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)
      • 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 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 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

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

Das Narr occupies a niche in the Swiss media sector as a literary magazine platform targeting readers interested in contemporary literature and emerging authors. Its business model revolves around publishing and selling literary magazines, organizing open calls for submissions, and offering subscriptions. The company has a consistent brand presence and has received awards and nominations, enhancing its market credibility. Revenue streams likely include magazine sales, subscriptions, and merchandise. The website's integration with social media and e-commerce indicates a digitally mature approach, though privacy and security policies could be strengthened to align with regulatory expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data detected. However, the lack of comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy, and the absence of a configured reCAPTCHA site key, indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware were found in the analyzed content. The absence of published security or incident response policies suggests limited transparency in security governance. Enhancing these areas would improve the site's resilience and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Configure reCAPTCHA properly on forms to prevent spam and abuse.
  4. Publish a security or incident response policy with clear contact channels for reporting issues.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Divi theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates several plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization and Instagram Feed for social media content. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Google Analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized publishing businesses, but there is potential to improve performance and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
