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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 foundation operates in the non-profit and real estate sectors, holding subsidiaries like Seewarte Holding AG and EGS Beteiligungen AG. Its business model combines asset management with philanthropic grant funding. The target audience includes cultural, social, environmental, educational, and scientific organizations seeking funding. The website's clear structure and downloadable official forms support transparency and ease of engagement. The foundation's market position is stable and established, with a history dating back to 1971. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, relying on contact forms instead. No advertising or tracking tools are used, indicating a focus on privacy and user experience.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for broader reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS 9.4.1, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome for UI components. It uses standard web technologies with responsive design and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and accessibility features but provides a clean and consistent user experience. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts are present, reducing privacy risks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
