Glarnerland Tourismus operates as the official tourism promotion organization for the Glarnerland region in Switzerland, focusing on providing comprehensive information about seasonal activities such as hiking, family events, and cultural highlights. The website serves as a destination marketing platform targeting tourists and families interested in outdoor and cultural experiences. Technically, the site is built on the Contao Open Source CMS and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The website is mobile optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation, although some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes some security best practices but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the website's purpose, indicating a legitimate and trustworthy entity.

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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  5. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 organization positions itself as a regional tourism authority, promoting Glarnerland as a destination for hiking, family activities, and cultural events. Its business model revolves around destination marketing and accommodation booking facilitation. The website links to partner sites such as outdoor activity platforms and regional family activity portals, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The content is professionally curated to appeal to tourists, with a focus on seasonal highlights and local attractions. The lack of explicit business registration or VAT information suggests a small to medium-sized public or quasi-public entity. The use of recognized CMS and marketing tools indicates a moderate level of digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and asynchronous loading of tracking scripts. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are visible, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also raises compliance concerns, especially under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with better policy visibility and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a dedicated security or abuse contact email to facilitate incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure they are up to date and free from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS, leveraging jQuery and modern asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes DNS prefetching for performance optimization. While the site loads moderately fast, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. The absence of some security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found, but the domain uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a regional tourism site but requires enhancements in security and privacy implementations.
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.
