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 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

  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

Golf Sempach operates in the hospitality and sports sector, targeting golf enthusiasts and event attendees. It leverages partnerships with other golf courses and related services to enhance its market position. The business model includes membership services, event hosting, training academies, and retail sales. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a strong regional presence and a focus on quality and customer experience. The partnership ecosystem includes several related golf clubs and an online shop, indicating a collaborative business approach. Growth indicators include active event promotion and a comprehensive service offering.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of asynchronous analytics scripts minimizes performance impact. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit security policies indicates partial GDPR compliance and a potential gap in incident response readiness. No security headers were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were found in the visible content or scripts. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional compliance and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to ensure user consent for tracking.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider for UI components and integrates Google Analytics and Matomo for user tracking. The site loads scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. Hosting details are not explicitly found but the site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for modernization in security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
