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

SENS eRecycling is a Swiss non-profit foundation specializing in the sustainable recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. The organization operates a well-established take-back system that facilitates environmentally friendly disposal for both private individuals and business partners across Switzerland. Their website reflects a mature market position with comprehensive services including collection, recycling, awareness campaigns, and a partner network. The content is professionally presented, multilingual, and targets a broad audience concerned with environmental sustainability. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Magnolia CMS, JavaScript frameworks, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Intercom. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though some improvements are recommended in security headers and explicit policies. The security evaluation shows no critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms, indicating a trustworthy and stable platform. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and formal security policies suggests room for compliance enhancement. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness suitable for its non-profit environmental mission. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent banners, publishing security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing security headers to further strengthen the security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

4 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 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

SENS eRecycling holds a strong position in the Swiss environmental sector as a non-profit dedicated to electronic waste recycling. Their business model revolves around facilitating the collection and recycling process through a network of partners and public awareness initiatives. Revenue streams likely include contributions from manufacturers and importers under the advanced recycling contribution system. The target customers are private individuals disposing of electronic equipment and business partners involved in manufacturing, sales, and import. The organization maintains transparency through detailed annual reports and a comprehensive website. Growth indicators include active projects, campaigns, and a multilingual approach. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including an online partner portal and collaboration with various stakeholders in the recycling chain.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and secure handling of user input in forms, including mandatory consent checkboxes. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is evident, with moderate user tracking levels. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a formal security policy or incident response plan on the website indicates potential compliance gaps. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with EU and Swiss privacy regulations.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Configure and deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and tracking pixels for potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magnolia CMS and uses a modern JavaScript stack with asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Intercom for user engagement and tracking. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with adaptive image loading and clear navigation structures. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and multilingual support. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration. Opportunities for modernization include enhancing security headers and implementing a cookie consent mechanism.
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.
