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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

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 · found on this site
  • 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

FDP Stein am Rhein operates as a local political entity within the Swiss political landscape, affiliated with the FDP party at cantonal and national levels. Its competitive advantage lies in active local representation and community engagement. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on political advocacy and information dissemination. Revenue streams are likely from party funding and donations, though not detailed on the site. The target customer segment is politically liberal residents of Stein am Rhein. The partnership ecosystem includes cantonal and national FDP organizations, as evidenced by linked domains. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site shows active political participation and recent election results. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong local presence and improving digital engagement could enhance influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating a gap in formal security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is basic but present, aligning with GDPR requirements. The absence of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small political site but could benefit from enhanced security controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard 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 security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG guidelines and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Improve SEO by adding meaningful meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and structured data to increase visibility and sharing.
  5. Consider adding verified contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, jQuery, and the Livewire framework, indicating a contemporary development approach. The CSS is modular and includes responsive design elements, ensuring good mobile optimization. The site does not appear to use a widely known CMS but shows signs of a proprietary or less common CMS (likely Weblication). Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. SEO metadata is minimal, and no structured data or Open Graph tags are present, limiting search engine optimization and social media integration. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with better SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
