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

4 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 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

INOBAT operates in the energy and environmental sector, focusing on battery recycling and waste management. Its business model is non-profit and regulatory in nature, managing fees and compliance for battery disposal in Switzerland. The organization targets consumers, manufacturers, importers, and recycling partners, positioning itself as a central authority in the Swiss battery recycling market. Partnerships such as with batteryman.ch enhance its educational outreach. The website content and structure support its role as an information hub and service provider, reflecting a stable and credible market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly implemented, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the organization's scope but could be strengthened.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to ensure compliance and minimize privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and meet higher standards.

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Bootstrap 5, with a CMS likely WaWision based on metadata. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and scripts, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Cookie consent is managed by CCM19, indicating attention to privacy compliance. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but external domains for analytics and cookie management are identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and security 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.
