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

infosnow.ch is a specialized portal offering interactive maps and detailed information about ski resorts and mountain tourism destinations primarily in Switzerland. The site targets tourists and outdoor enthusiasts seeking seasonal activity information and resort details. The business operates in the transportation sector with a focus on mountain tourism. Technically, the site uses OpenStreetMap tiles and custom JavaScript for map rendering, providing a good user experience with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers, which impacts its security posture and privacy compliance. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and relevant but would benefit from improved security and compliance measures.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 · found on this site
  • 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 portal serves a niche market of Swiss mountain tourism, providing value through detailed mapping and activity filtering. Its business model likely relies on partnerships with resorts and tourism organizations. The absence of explicit contact details and policies suggests a small-scale operation focused on information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. The site’s consistent branding and good content quality support moderate trustworthiness. Growth opportunities include adding comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing contact transparency, and integrating analytics for user insights.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but no explicit security headers detected in the HTML content. There are no visible forms or inputs that could pose immediate risks, but the lack of security best practices such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security headers is a concern. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting the site's readiness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and security culture.
  5. Integrate analytics and consent mechanisms to balance user tracking with privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom JavaScript mapping solution leveraging OpenStreetMap tiles, providing interactive and responsive map features. The HTML structure is standard with CSS and JS assets loaded from the same domain. No modern frameworks or CMS are detected, indicating a custom-built platform. Performance is moderate with multiple map tiles loaded dynamically. Mobile optimization is good with viewport meta tags and touch event handling. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve 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.
