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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention kirchenweb.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for kirchenweb.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The company holds a strong position in the Swiss church digital services market, leveraging a B2B SaaS model focused on church communities. Their competitive advantage lies in comprehensive modular solutions that cover publication, communication, collaboration, administration, and building control. The business model is subscription and service-based, targeting church organizations seeking digital transformation. Growth indicators include a large number of managed events, documents, and images, as well as positive customer testimonials. The company maintains an active social media presence and provides clear contact points, enhancing customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

Kirchenweb.ch demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. Email addresses are protected via JavaScript obfuscation, reducing spam risk. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options limits defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security readiness and trust.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform with a front-end leveraging jQuery, Typed.js for animated text, Owl Carousel for content sliders, and Hyphenopoly for hyphenation support. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta keywords and descriptions. Performance is moderate, with multiple image assets and JavaScript files loaded. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement modern security headers. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
