Risk levelHigh

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

kHaus AG operates as a cultural and community hub in Basel, Switzerland, offering event spaces, coworking offices, and opportunities for co-creation and cultural engagement. The website reflects a medium-sized organization focused on providing spaces for cultural events, seminars, workshops, and coworking with a family atmosphere. Their market position is local and community-oriented, targeting individuals and groups interested in culture and coworking. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, ConsentFriend for consent management, Google Analytics for performance tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Consent management is robust, supporting GDPR compliance with clear cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, explicit security headers are missing, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations. The risk level is low, but enhancing security policies and transparency would further strengthen their 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

kHaus AG is positioned as a cultural and coworking space provider in Basel, Switzerland, serving a community-focused audience. Their business model revolves around renting event spaces and coworking offices while fostering cultural engagement and co-creation. The company leverages social media channels to enhance community interaction and brand presence. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a stable market presence. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The company appears to have a clear value proposition centered on culture and community, with growth potential through event hosting and coworking offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security or incident response policy represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating good operational security hygiene. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

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.
