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

Gewerbeverein Kölliken Uerkental is a regional business association serving local companies and members in the Kölliken and Uerkental area of Switzerland. The organization focuses on fostering local business networking, organizing events such as entrepreneur meetings, annual excursions, and initiatives connecting schools with the business community. The website reflects a small-sized, community-oriented business model with a clear local market position and a focus on member services including voucher programs. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder and JetEngine plugin, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js and jQuery. It employs Matomo analytics for user tracking and demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization. However, accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration but lacks several security headers and explicit security policies such as incident response or vulnerability disclosure. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices to improve compliance and user trust. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response policies are recommended to strengthen the security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 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

  4. 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 Gewerbeverein Kölliken Uerkental operates as a small, regional business association targeting local businesses and students in the Kölliken and Uerkental region. Its competitive advantage lies in its community focus and event-driven engagement model, including vocational orientation programs and member voucher schemes. Revenue streams likely derive from membership fees and event sponsorships. The partnership ecosystem includes local banks such as Raiffeisen, as indicated by event collaborations. Growth indicators include ongoing event planning and active social media presence on Facebook. The business model emphasizes member services and regional networking rather than commercial sales, positioning it as a key local business facilitator.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The lack of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR-specific disclosures. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall data protection practices could be enhanced. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation are advised.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security incidents to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve website reach and usability, including ARIA roles and meta tags.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and JetEngine, enabling flexible content management and dynamic listings. It integrates JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for carousels and jQuery for DOM manipulation. Matomo analytics is used for visitor tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly analytics. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs, with no signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility. Technical debt appears low, but SEO and accessibility could be further optimized. 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.
