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

The Geschwister Meier Stiftung is a Swiss non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting music and cultural activities ranging from traditional folk music to avant-garde experimental sounds. The website serves as an informational platform to present the foundation's mission and activities, targeting a general audience interested in arts and culture within Switzerland. The foundation operates in a niche cultural sector with a small organizational size and a focused business model centered on cultural funding and promotion. Technically, the website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's standard JavaScript libraries and hosting infrastructure. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with basic accessibility and SEO features. The technical stack is modern but limited to Wix's ecosystem, which simplifies maintenance but may restrict advanced customization. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and a good SSL configuration. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is professionally designed and consistent with the foundation's branding and mission. The absence of contact details and privacy-related policies slightly diminishes trust and compliance posture. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would strengthen the foundation's digital presence and user confidence.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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 Geschwister Meier Stiftung occupies a specialized position in the Swiss cultural non-profit sector, focusing on music and cultural promotion. Its competitive advantage lies in its support for a broad spectrum of cultural expressions, from traditional to experimental. The foundation likely relies on donations, grants, and partnerships within the cultural ecosystem. The website's limited digital footprint suggests a focus on offline community engagement rather than extensive online marketing. There is no evidence of commercial activities or revenue-generating services on the site. The foundation's partnership ecosystem and growth indicators are not explicitly detailed, indicating a modest scale of operations.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic, with HTTPS enforced but lacking critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, posing legal and reputational risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response mechanisms are visible, which limits the foundation's ability to manage security incidents effectively. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, with significant opportunities for improvement in compliance and proactive security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish contact information specifically for security incidents, including an abuse or security email address.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, leveraging its proprietary CMS and hosting services. The technology stack includes standard Wix JavaScript bundles, polyfills, and CSS frameworks. Performance is moderate, with no significant optimization indicators or advanced frameworks detected. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, the lack of custom security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in compliance and security domains. The site could benefit from performance audits and accessibility improvements to modernize its technical infrastructure and reduce operational risks.
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.
