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 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. 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

  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 organization targets a broad audience including patients, families, and medical professionals. Their business model revolves around non-profit activities, including funding research, providing educational materials, and hosting events. The website's multilingual support and structured content indicate a mature digital presence. Partnerships and sponsorships are implied but not explicitly detailed on the homepage. The organization leverages digital tools for outreach and engagement, positioning itself as a key player in epilepsy-related healthcare advocacy in Switzerland.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses anti-spam and bot detection technologies such as CleanTalk and Google reCAPTCHA. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear privacy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Avada theme, with multiple plugins for multilingual support (WPML), anti-spam (CleanTalk), and enhanced user interaction (Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7). The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses standard JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
