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

3 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 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';…
  2. 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

easyvote operates as an important entity in the Swiss education and non-profit sector, focusing on political literacy and voter education. Its business model revolves around providing free, neutral political content and tools to empower voters and educators. The platform benefits from a clear partnership ecosystem, notably with DSJ, enhancing its credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include donations and grants, as indicated by donation links. The target customer segments include Swiss voters, schools, and educators, with growth potential through digital tools like the votenow app and newsletters. The website's content and services reflect a strategic focus on accessibility, neutrality, and comprehensive political education, positioning easyvote as a key player in Swiss civic education.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The use of mail obfuscation scripts protects contact emails from scraping. However, the absence of several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit incident response or security policy pages, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the site's purpose but could be strengthened to mitigate emerging threats and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Neos CMS platform using the Flow PHP framework, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It employs standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with lazy loading for images and responsive design for mobile optimization. The site integrates external services such as Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused tracking and CleverReach for newsletter management. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack supports the site's educational mission effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and future-proof the platform.
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.
