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

Dry January is a Swiss-based non-profit campaign focused on encouraging individuals to abstain from alcohol during January. The website serves as an informational and engagement platform offering event details, partner programs, and merchandise sales to support the campaign. It targets a general audience with an emphasis on health and alcohol awareness. The site is built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2, integrating modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Matomo and Google Tag Manager. The technical infrastructure is solid, with good mobile optimization and secure HTTPS implementation. However, the site lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, which impacts GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is generally good but could be improved by adding security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but should address compliance gaps to enhance user confidence and legal 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

7 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 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

      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

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 Dry January campaign holds a recognized position in Switzerland's health awareness sector, leveraging partnerships and events to promote alcohol abstinence. Its business model is non-profit and awareness-driven, relying on community engagement and merchandise sales. The campaign maintains active social media channels to broaden reach and engagement. The website's content and structure support its mission effectively, though the absence of direct contact details and formal policies may limit transparency. Growth opportunities include expanding partner networks and enhancing digital compliance. The campaign's focus on health and social responsibility aligns well with current public health trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site should implement a cookie consent mechanism and publish clear data protection and incident response information to strengthen security culture and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and analytics configurations to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2, indicating a modern and scalable CMS platform. It uses Font Awesome for icons and integrates Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and supports mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset loading and caching. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal, with scope for enhanced metadata and structured data implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization in SEO and performance tuning.
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.
