Fondation Sanfilippo Suisse is a specialized non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating research and treatment discovery for Sanfilippo disease, a rare degenerative childhood illness. Established in 2008, the foundation operates primarily in Switzerland with international scientific collaborations. It provides funding for research programs, organizes scientific conferences, raises public awareness, and supports affected families. The foundation relies on donations and fundraising events as its main business model. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy image with clear donation mechanisms and transparent contact information.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO, analytics, and GDPR compliance. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and Complianz for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with structured data enhancing search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization.
Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, reCAPTCHA protection on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not detected and should be implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies in French, aligned with GDPR requirements.
Overall, the foundation's website is a secure, compliant, and professional platform that effectively supports its mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy or vulnerability disclosure, and conducting regular security audits to maintain and improve security posture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation occupies a niche position in the healthcare non-profit sector focused on rare diseases, specifically Sanfilippo syndrome. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized mission, long-standing presence since 2008, and active engagement with scientific communities through conferences and funded research. Revenue streams are primarily donations, supported by transparent banking details and online donation platforms. The target audience includes affected families, researchers, donors, and the general public interested in rare diseases. Partnerships with organizations like Loterie Romande and Raisenow for donations enhance its fundraising capabilities. The website's multilingual support (French and English) and social media presence indicate efforts to broaden reach and engagement. Growth indicators include upcoming events and active news updates, reflecting ongoing organizational activity.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is managed via the Complianz GDPR plugin, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response information published on the site, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional security hardening and documentation.
Recommendations
Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest versions to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.
Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

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.
