It features multiple campaigns, petitions, and volunteer opportunities, reflecting a mature and professional digital presence. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates analytics and monitoring tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Sentry, indicating a commitment to performance and user experience.

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"

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Greenpeace Schweiz holds a strong market position as a leading environmental NGO in Switzerland, leveraging donations and volunteer engagement as primary revenue streams. The organization benefits from a global Greenpeace network, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website's content strategy focuses on actionable campaigns and educational resources, appealing to environmentally conscious individuals and communities. Partnerships include an official merchandise shop, supporting fundraising efforts. The digital infrastructure supports scalability and engagement, though further enhancements in privacy and security transparency could strengthen stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking a visible cookie consent mechanism, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR and Swiss data protection laws. The use of reputable analytics and monitoring tools suggests ongoing security and performance monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and user-facing disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR and Swiss compliance.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit company contact details including phone numbers and emails for general and security inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular accessibility audits to maintain and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a child theme based on the Planet4 master theme, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Gravity Forms for data collection and uses Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. Sentry is employed for error monitoring, indicating a proactive approach to site reliability. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and fonts, optimizing performance. While hosting provider details are not explicit, the presence of sst.greenpeace.ch suggests dedicated infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data, enhancing search engine visibility and social media integration. Performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization in loading speed and resource management.
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.
