Risk levelHigh

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

Ferienhaus Braunwald is a small hospitality business offering two holiday houses in the mountain village of Braunwald, Switzerland. The website targets families and groups seeking vacation accommodations in a scenic, car-free alpine environment. The business operates a niche model focusing on group and family stays with clear descriptions of their properties and local attractions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Revolution Slider and Contact Form 7, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with good navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and hCaptcha for form protection but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is common and justified for this business type. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

10 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

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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

The company, Cevi Region Basel, operates in the hospitality sector providing holiday accommodation in Braunwald, Switzerland. Their market position is regional and niche, focusing on families and groups interested in mountain vacations. The business model is rental-based, with key services including group house rental and family holiday stays. The website supports their market presence with social media integration and clear service descriptions. There is no evidence of parent companies or subsidiaries. The business appears small in size with a focused target audience. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a moderate level of trustworthiness. No direct revenue streams or partnerships beyond tourism links are evident from the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and hCaptcha is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency in security management. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is appropriate. There are no visible signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices and formalizing privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.5.5 with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Revolution Slider, Contact Form 7, and TablePress. It uses Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager for tracking and styling. The site loads asynchronously scripts and uses hCaptcha for form security. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The site uses standard CSS and JavaScript with no apparent technical debt or errors. Opportunities exist to improve SEO with structured data and enhance performance with caching and security headers.
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.
