The Schweizerische Flüchtlingshilfe (SFH) is a well-established Swiss non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights and protection of refugees in Switzerland since 1936. The website serves as a comprehensive platform offering information on asylum procedures, migration policies, educational programs, and fundraising opportunities. It targets refugees, protection seekers, supporters, and professionals involved in refugee aid. The organization maintains a strong market position as a trusted voice in refugee advocacy within Switzerland. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and manages cookies responsibly. However, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, and no direct company contact emails or phone numbers are visible, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, with a high legitimacy score based on WHOIS data alignment and content consistency.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
SFH operates in the non-profit sector focusing on refugee protection and rights advocacy. Its business model revolves around advocacy, education, legal support, and fundraising. The organization benefits from a long history and established reputation in Switzerland, serving a broad audience including refugees, legal professionals, and the general public. Partnerships with related organizations like OSAR and Refugee Council Switzerland enhance its ecosystem. The website's multilingual support and comprehensive content indicate a strategic approach to outreach and engagement. Revenue streams likely include donations, grants, and membership fees. Growth indicators include active campaigns and educational offerings. The organization maintains a professional online presence but could enhance transparency by publishing more detailed compliance and contact information.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to privacy and consent management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident handling. The site would benefit from explicit documentation of security practices and a dedicated security contact to improve trust and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced with formal policies and transparency.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
Display verified company contact emails and phone numbers prominently to enhance trust and compliance.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, reflecting modern compliance practices. The site uses responsive design techniques and preloads fonts and CSS for performance optimization. The presence of multiple favicon sizes and manifest files indicates attention to cross-device compatibility. The site performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization. Accessibility features are present, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for incremental improvements in performance and transparency.
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.
