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

The website 'Die Schweizer Schlösser' serves as a tourism portal showcasing 30 castles and fortresses across Switzerland. It offers visitors information about historical sites, events, exhibitions, and guided tours, targeting a general audience interested in cultural heritage and travel within Switzerland. The site is multilingual, primarily in German, with options for French, Italian, and English, enhancing accessibility for diverse visitors. Technically, the site is built on Concrete CMS, uses Google Fonts, jQuery, and integrates Google Maps API for location services. Google Tag Manager is implemented with IP anonymization to track analytics. The website demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and some best practices observed, but lacks security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is moderate but limited by lack of visible contact information and trust indicators. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security, and contact transparency.

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 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 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

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

The business operates in the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on promoting Swiss castles and related cultural experiences. Its business model revolves around providing information, organizing events, and facilitating visits to heritage sites. The target market includes tourists, history enthusiasts, and families interested in Swiss culture. The website's multilingual support suggests an intent to attract both domestic and international visitors. No explicit revenue streams or partnerships are disclosed in the content. The lack of detailed business information and contact data limits deeper business intelligence insights. The site positions itself as a cultural gateway rather than a commercial enterprise, which aligns with the absence of e-commerce features.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google Tag Manager with IP anonymization, indicating some attention to user privacy. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. No forms with secure input handling were identified in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process to build trust and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS, a known content management system, and uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Maps API for interactive location features. The site loads external resources from reputable domains such as fonts.googleapis.com and googletagmanager.com. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, but the extensive use of Google Maps and multiple external scripts may impact speed. Mobile optimization is good, and the site supports multiple languages. SEO optimization is basic with meta description and canonical tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and keyboard shortcut information present in the map component. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
