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 holds a stable position as a regional political group affiliated with the national FDP party. Its competitive advantage lies in focused advocacy for women in liberal politics within St. Gallen. Revenue streams are likely from membership fees and donations, supported by clear donation and membership calls on the site. The target customer segment is politically engaged women in the canton. The partnership ecosystem includes the national FDP party and the digital agency WNG SA. Growth indicators include active event agendas and media releases. The website reflects a well-maintained digital presence supporting organizational goals.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented to comply with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and readiness. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party libraries appears current but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit political site but could be strengthened with additional controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and document data retention policies for analytics and user data to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in Europe. The frontend uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Google Fonts and FontAwesome provide consistent typography and icons. The site includes cookie consent management via tarteaucitron.js, ensuring GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities in script loading and caching. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but adding security headers and improving accessibility would modernize the technical posture further.
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.
