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

Jugend im Berggebiet is a Swiss non-profit initiative under the Schweizerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für die Berggebiete (SAB) focused on promoting youth-friendly mountain villages. The website serves as an informational and community platform to support youth engagement and counteract depopulation in mountain regions. It offers a label program, organizes youth forums, and provides media and agenda information relevant to its target audience of youth and municipalities in Swiss mountain areas. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a professional theme and multilingual support, integrating common social media and analytics tools. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks some security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy linked via the SAB parent site but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-branded, and professionally maintained, serving a niche non-profit community purpose.

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. 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

  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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates in the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on youth engagement in mountain communities in Switzerland. Its business model revolves around community labeling, events, and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The site positions itself as a trusted regional actor with a clear partnership with SAB. The target customers are municipalities and youth in mountain regions. The presence of multilingual content and social media channels indicates efforts to broaden reach and engagement. The lack of commercial elements and certifications aligns with its non-profit nature. Growth indicators include active news updates and youth forum events. The partnership ecosystem is centered on SAB and regional municipalities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), a published security policy, and incident response contact details. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The use of up-to-date WordPress and plugins reduces risk but ongoing maintenance is essential. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls and formalized policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS (version 6.8.3) with a professional theme (Memorable) and multilingual support via WPML. It integrates common JavaScript libraries including jQuery and social media SDKs for Facebook and Twitter. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is standard for a non-profit informational website, with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
