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. 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your 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
  • 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

FRC holds a strong market position as a regional consumer protection association with a clear non-profit business model. Its revenue streams likely include membership fees and donations, supported by visible donation calls and membership drives. The organization maintains a multi-channel presence including social media and newsletters, enhancing engagement and advocacy impact. The website content and structure reflect a focus on transparency, legal protection, and consumer empowerment. Partnerships with local branches and a professional web agency indicate a stable operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include active campaigns and updated content, positioning FRC as a key player in Swiss consumer rights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, no visible sensitive data exposure, and secure input forms. However, the absence of security headers and a public security or incident response policy limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could be improved to foster responsible vulnerability reporting. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no privacy or security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack centered on Drupal 11 CMS, enhanced with Alpine.js for reactive UI components and HTMX for dynamic content loading. Matomo analytics is used, reflecting a privacy-focused approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to improve load times. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) improves SEO and content discoverability. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. There is room for improvement in security headers and cookie management to align with best 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.
