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

guidle is a Swiss-based digital media platform specializing in aggregating and distributing event listings, exhibitions, restaurants, museums, webcams, and other local content across multiple categories. The platform targets both general consumers for leisure planning and businesses or municipalities seeking efficient digital advertising solutions. Their business model centers on providing a centralized service for content publication under the motto '1 Mal erfasst, überall publiziert'. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with good content quality and navigation. Technically, guidle employs modern web technologies including Vue.js, jQuery, and Web Components polyfills, supported by Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and user behavior tracking, integrated with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR compliance. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent for privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Overall, guidle presents as a legitimate and professional digital media service with good privacy practices but would benefit from enhanced security headers, clearer incident response policies, and verification of domain registration details to improve 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

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

guidle occupies a niche in the Swiss digital media market, focusing on event and local content aggregation and distribution. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive coverage of over 30 categories and its service model that simplifies content publication for municipalities and businesses. Revenue streams likely include media service fees, managed content solutions, and application subscriptions such as Event Manager and Course Manager. The target customer segments include local governments, event organizers, businesses in hospitality and tourism, and general consumers planning leisure activities. The company shows indicators of medium size with a consistent brand and a growing partnership ecosystem, though no explicit parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expansion into additional digital marketing services and enhanced security and compliance offerings.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of guidle is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating good privacy awareness. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were observed in the HTML content. The absence of an incident response policy or security contact information limits the site's readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but no specific certifications or vulnerability disclosure programs are in place. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website, including dedicated security contact channels.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and jQuery, combined with Web Components polyfills for compatibility. Content delivery is optimized via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, improving load times and availability. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user behavior tracking, with a robust cookie consent mechanism ensuring privacy compliance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and SEO optimization. However, the absence of explicit CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers. The technical stack is well-suited for the business model but requires ongoing maintenance to address security and compliance enhancements.
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.
