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

3 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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Greenpeace Schweiz operates as a large non-profit entity within the environmental sector, leveraging donations and memberships as primary revenue streams. The organization maintains a strong market position as part of Greenpeace International, with a clear focus on climate and sustainability campaigns. Their digital presence supports activism through petitions, educational content, and calls to action. The website's integration with social media and a dedicated merchandise shop indicates a diversified engagement strategy. The absence of detailed privacy and security policies suggests areas for compliance improvement. The organization benefits from consistent branding and a clear mission, appealing to environmentally conscious individuals and supporters in Switzerland.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with asynchronous loading to reduce performance impact. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, indicating limited formal vulnerability management communication. The site should enhance security by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and ensuring all forms have robust validation and anti-CSRF protections. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved to meet best practices for a high-profile NGO.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Gravity Forms for form management, and ElasticPress for search enhancements. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Hotjar. The site loads scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Fonts are loaded with unicode-range subsets for efficiency. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and asset optimization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the organization's digital goals effectively.
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.
