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

FDP.Die Liberalen Luzern is a regional political party in the canton of Luzern, Switzerland, providing political news, event information, and membership engagement through their website. The site targets Swiss citizens interested in liberal politics and offers donation and campaign support options. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery, integrating modern web technologies and multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. The site is mobile-optimized and includes cookie consent mechanisms with high privacy settings. Security-wise, the website uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy linked externally but no terms of service or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, suitable for its non-profit political purpose.

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 website represents a small-sized political organization focused on government and non-profit sectors. It maintains a strong regional presence with clear branding and active content updates including news, agendas, and campaigns. The business model revolves around political engagement, membership recruitment, and fundraising. The party leverages partnerships with the national FDP Switzerland and a digital agency for website management. The site’s content and social media integration support community outreach and transparency. Growth indicators include regular event announcements and multimedia content. The partnership ecosystem is limited but relevant to political and digital service providers.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented with privacy in mind. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is appropriate for a non-commercial political website but could be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated privacy policy page on the same domain to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add terms of service and a security policy page to clarify user rights and security practices.
  4. Establish and publish incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities and maintain updated versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature CMS (TYPO3) combined with Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes, alongside a cookie consent tool (tarteaucitron) configured for high privacy. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, including lazy loading for images and embedded YouTube videos for rich media content. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile-optimized and has clear navigation. Technical risks include missing security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require monitoring.
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.
