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

INSOS is a Swiss non-profit association serving as the industry federation for service providers supporting people with disabilities. It operates as a key player in the Swiss social sector, offering a broad range of services including legal advice, insurance services, inclusion measurement tools, and professional development courses. The organization is closely linked with the ARTISET federation and maintains a strong presence in the Swiss market with over 3,100 members. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting service providers and professionals in the disability support sector. Technically, the website is built on the sitesystem CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Matomo with privacy-conscious configurations. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. However, it lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs error tracking via Sentry. Analytics are configured to anonymize IPs and disable cookies, indicating a baseline privacy awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, confirming legitimacy and transparency. Overall, INSOS presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with room to enhance privacy compliance and security hardening to meet best practices fully.

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.

Business context

Business profile

INSOS holds a strong market position as a central federation for disability service providers in Switzerland. Its business model revolves around membership services, professional development, consulting, and advocacy. The organization benefits from strategic partnerships with ARTISET and other sector federations, enhancing its influence and service offerings. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, training programs, and consulting services. The target customers are service providers and professionals in the disability support sector. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with a clear focus on inclusion, innovation, and knowledge transfer. The presence of multiple external partner domains suggests a well-established partnership ecosystem supporting its operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and analytics tools are configured with privacy in mind, including IP anonymization and cookie disabling. The use of Sentry for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security measures are adequate but could be strengthened to align with industry best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Include contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to comply with data protection regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the sitesystem CMS platform with jQuery 3.6.0 and integrates analytics via Google Analytics and Matomo, configured for privacy. It uses Sentry for error monitoring and embeds Vimeo videos for multimedia content. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clear navigation structure and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and explicit privacy 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.
