Risk levelMedium

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

The website 'Rottaler Genussfenster' serves as a regional cultural and culinary platform focused on the Rottal region in Switzerland, highlighting local specialties, traditions, and events. It targets residents and visitors interested in regional food and cultural heritage, operating primarily as a non-profit or community-driven initiative. The site is built on Joomla CMS using modern templates and page builders, offering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating room for improvement in privacy compliance. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's regional focus, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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 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

    • 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

  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 platform positions itself as a regional promoter of culinary and cultural heritage, leveraging partnerships with local organizations such as IG Rottaler Ernte and Rottaler Auslese GmbH. Its business model is informational and community-oriented rather than commercial, focusing on event promotion and regional specialty awareness. The website content and structure support a small-sized organization with a clear target audience. The absence of commercial tracking or advertising suggests a focus on user experience and trust. The presence of official event links and regional references strengthens its market position as a trusted local resource.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate; the site uses HTTPS ensuring encrypted communication but lacks implementation of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could be a gap in security readiness. Forms are present but no explicit security measures or anti-spam protections are visible. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit compliance indicators. Overall, the site is secure enough for informational purposes but could enhance its security and privacy posture to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Helix Ultimate template and SP Page Builder, using modern frontend libraries such as Bootstrap 5 and FontAwesome 6. The site loads moderate resources including image carousels and custom scripts, providing a responsive and visually appealing experience. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal data collection. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from updated security practices and SEO enhancements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
