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

KFM is a Swiss association established in 1918, serving as a platform for companies involved in assembly, commissioning, support, and service activities to exchange experience and receive training. The organization operates as a registered association based in Zurich, providing seminars, e-learning, and support services to its members. The website reflects a medium-sized, well-established business with a clear focus on manufacturing and industrial sectors in Switzerland. Technically, the site uses Dynasite CMS with older but functional technologies like jQuery 1.7.2 and integrates CookieHub for cookie consent management. While the site is secure with HTTPS and cookie consent, it lacks some modern security headers and uses outdated libraries that could pose risks. No visible forms or social media integrations were found, indicating a focus on informational content rather than direct user engagement online. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, but could improve technical modernization and security posture.

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

3 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 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

KFM holds a niche market position as a longstanding association facilitating knowledge exchange and training for Swiss industrial companies. Its business model revolves around membership and service provision rather than direct sales. The presence of reputable partners and member companies like Siemens and ABB enhances its credibility. The website content and structure support a professional image targeting corporate clients in manufacturing and assembly sectors. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital training offerings and enhancing online engagement. The partnership ecosystem is clearly presented, supporting collaborative business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an informational site but could be improved to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  2. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web threats.
  4. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.
  5. Consider adding structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags to improve SEO and social media integration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Dynasite Universal CMS and uses Adobe ColdFusion on the backend, with front-end technologies including jQuery 1.7.2 and Font Awesome icons. It loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs like MaxCDN and Cloudfront. CookieHub is integrated for cookie consent management. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile responsiveness. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. The HTML is valid and SEO meta tags are properly set, but structured data is missing. The site could benefit from modernization of its tech stack and improved accessibility features to reduce technical debt and improve user experience.
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.
