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

Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC) operates as the World Centre of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM), providing accommodation, adventure programs, and volunteering opportunities primarily for scouts and youth organizations globally. The website reflects a well-established non-profit entity with a clear mission to support scouting activities and community engagement. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting a global scouting audience. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with a range of JavaScript libraries enhancing user experience and interactivity. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are adequately implemented, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the organization's identity. Overall, the site is trustworthy, functional, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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
  4. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

KISC holds a unique market position as a global scout centre affiliated with WOSM, serving a niche but international audience. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on providing services such as accommodation, program activities, and volunteer engagement rather than commercial sales. Revenue streams likely include accommodation fees, program fees, and donations/support. The organization maintains partnerships with WOSM and leverages social media for outreach. The website content and structure support community building and engagement, with clear calls to action for booking, volunteering, and membership. Growth indicators include active news updates and event promotion. The partnership ecosystem is limited but focused on scouting and youth organizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner that complies with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Drupal 7, an older CMS version, may pose risks if not regularly updated. The site does not publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting modern security headers and formalizing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy page and provide dedicated incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Upgrade Drupal core and modules to the latest supported versions to mitigate risks associated with outdated software.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing jQuery 1.9.0 and jQuery UI libraries for UI components. Additional libraries include Colorbox for modal dialogs, MeanMenu for responsive menus, CKEditor for content editing, FlexSlider for image sliders, intl-tel-input for phone input formatting, and AOS for scroll animations. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in asset loading and caching. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by MeanMenu and responsive CSS. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph tags. The site lacks visible modern frameworks or platforms beyond Drupal 7, indicating some technical debt and potential modernization opportunities.
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.
