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

Golf Kyburg is a premium golf club located near Zürich, Switzerland, offering an 18 Hole Championship Course and a range of services including memberships, events, seminars, golf academy courses, gastronomy, and an online shop. The club is part of the Leading Golf Courses of Switzerland, positioning it as a high-quality destination for golf enthusiasts and event attendees. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and provides clear navigation and contact information, targeting golfers and hospitality clients in the region. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern frontend technologies such as Slick Slider and GSAP TweenMax. It integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Piwik/Matomo, indicating a mature approach to user behavior tracking. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Overall, Golf Kyburg's website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with good security hygiene but could improve privacy compliance and transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, publishing security policies, and enhancing security headers to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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 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

Golf Kyburg operates in the hospitality and sports sector, focusing on golf services and event hosting. Its market positioning as part of the Leading Golf Courses of Switzerland provides a competitive advantage by associating with a recognized quality network. The business model includes membership fees, green fees, event revenues, academy course fees, gastronomy sales, and retail through an online shop. The target customers are golf players, club members, and event participants primarily in Switzerland. The partnership ecosystem includes other golf clubs, event organizers, and retail partners, enhancing its market reach. The website content and linked domains reflect a well-integrated network supporting growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of multiple analytics tools is managed with asynchronous loading to minimize performance impact. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including Slick Slider for carousels and GSAP TweenMax for animations, enhancing user experience. Analytics integration is comprehensive with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Piwik/Matomo, indicating advanced tracking capabilities. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading improving load times. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers.
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.
