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

Hôpital de Lavaux is a regional healthcare institution serving the Grand Lausanne and Lavaux-Oron districts in Switzerland. The hospital offers a range of services including rehabilitation, palliative care, medico-social housing, diabetes programs, ambulatory care, and temporary care facilities. The website reflects a professional and patient-focused organization with clear service offerings and contact information. The hospital maintains an active social media presence to engage with its community. Technically, the website is built on the Jalios JCMS platform with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is well-structured with good SEO and accessibility basics, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. There is no privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are also absent, limiting transparency in security matters. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security transparency to better protect users and meet regulatory requirements.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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

Hôpital de Lavaux holds a solid position as a healthcare provider in its regional market, focusing on patient care and community health services. Its business model centers on delivering comprehensive medical and social care services to the local population. The hospital's partnerships and social media engagement suggest a collaborative approach to healthcare delivery. The absence of privacy and security policies may reflect a need for modernization in compliance practices. Growth opportunities may include digital transformation initiatives and enhanced patient engagement through online services. The hospital's clear contact channels and professional content support credibility and trust. The use of Jalios JCMS indicates investment in a specialized CMS tailored for institutional websites, which supports content management and user experience. The hospital's market presence is stable, with no indications of subsidiaries or parent companies, emphasizing its role as an essential local healthcare entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of CSRF tokens in forms is a positive security practice. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were detected in the analysis. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR for a healthcare entity handling personal data. The use of Matomo analytics is privacy-friendly but requires clear user consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in policy publication, header implementation, and compliance documentation to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing contact information for a Data Protection Officer to enhance trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Jalios JCMS CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap 3.4.1 and jQuery libraries for responsive design and interactivity. Additional libraries include Moment.js for date/time handling, Handlebars for templating, and LightGallery for media display. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking, favoring privacy over commercial analytics solutions. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CSS bundling. The site is mobile optimized with responsive navigation and layout. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical URLs. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from upgrading Bootstrap and jQuery versions to latest stable releases for security and performance improvements.
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.
