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

The website heiligesjahr.ch serves as an informational portal for the Holy Year 2025 event at Einsiedeln, Switzerland, a significant Catholic pilgrimage site. It provides detailed religious content, event agendas, and invitations aimed at pilgrims and visitors interested in Catholic traditions. The site is operated by the Wallfahrtsbüro Kloster Einsiedeln, a small non-profit religious entity. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.3.2 and plugins like prettyPhoto and pngFix, indicating an older technology stack with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate to low, with no visible HTTPS enforcement or modern security headers, and the use of outdated JavaScript libraries introduces potential vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its niche audience but requires modernization and improved security and privacy practices.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

The website targets a niche religious market focused on Catholic pilgrims and visitors to Einsiedeln. Its business model is informational and non-commercial, supporting religious and cultural heritage activities. The site maintains partnerships with official religious institutions, as evidenced by linked domains and contact details. The lack of commercial elements and minimal tracking suggests a focus on community service rather than revenue generation. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and improving user experience. The partnership ecosystem includes official monastery and pilgrimage websites, reinforcing legitimacy and community trust.

Security posture

The security posture is currently weak due to the absence of HTTPS enforcement, lack of modern security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection), and use of outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited formal security governance. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing exposure but also limiting engagement. Recommendations include upgrading libraries, enforcing HTTPS, adding security headers, and publishing privacy and security policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with HSTS and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  4. Introduce security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or legacy platform without a modern CMS. It uses older versions of jQuery (1.3.2) and plugins like prettyPhoto and pngFix, which may cause compatibility and security issues. The site loads Google Fonts and includes conditional scripts for IE compatibility. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with minimal meta keywords and description tags. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, updated libraries, and improved SEO and accessibility features.
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.
