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

The Schweizerische Mobilitätsplattform ITS-CH is a Swiss-based platform dedicated to promoting the modernization and digitalization of transportation systems. It serves as a collaborative hub for stakeholders from government bodies, economic sectors, research, education, and associations to foster sustainable, ecological, safe, and efficient mobility development across Switzerland. The platform positions itself as a national non-profit entity focused on advancing transportation innovation and cooperation. Technically, the website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, leveraging standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with a clean and consistent design. SEO and accessibility features are basic but functional. Hosting is provided by Jimdo, a reputable provider for small to medium-sized websites. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content access. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence for ITS-CH, with clear contact information and compliance with privacy standards. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, adding terms of service, and improving accessibility to further strengthen the platform's digital maturity and stakeholder trust.

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

5 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 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

  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

ITS-CH operates as a specialized non-profit platform within the Swiss transportation sector, focusing on digital transformation and sustainable mobility. Its market positioning is national, targeting public sector entities, private industry, academia, and associations. The business model revolves around collaboration and knowledge sharing rather than direct commercial transactions. Revenue streams are likely derived from memberships, partnerships, and public funding. The platform's ecosystem includes events, publications, and research initiatives, although no direct partner domains were identified in the website content. Growth indicators include active stakeholder engagement and a clear mission aligned with contemporary mobility challenges in Switzerland.

Security posture

The current security posture of the ITS-CH website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and cookie consent is managed, reflecting compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels suggests limited maturity in security governance. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web threats. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits insights into user behavior. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from formalizing security documentation and enhancing technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Create and publish terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, which provides a stable and user-friendly environment for small to medium-sized organizations. The technology stack includes standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, with assets hosted on Jimdo's CDN. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in loading speed and SEO. The site is mobile responsive and has a consistent design language. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security headers and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
