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

The website www.kitarechner.ch provides a specialized tariff calculator tool designed for Swiss municipalities to facilitate the calculation of subsidies for family-based childcare services. The site targets local government entities and families seeking transparent and straightforward subsidy computations. The business operates in the government sector with a niche focus on childcare subsidy calculations, serving a small-scale audience primarily within Switzerland. The website content is primarily in German and offers basic but relevant information about the service without extensive business details or contact information. From a technical perspective, the website employs basic HTML5 and CSS without indications of modern frameworks or CMS platforms. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal, with essential meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No analytics or tracking technologies are embedded, indicating a privacy-conscious or minimalistic approach. Security posture is limited; the site does not show evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers in the provided data, which lowers its security score. There are no visible forms or data collection points on the main page, reducing the attack surface but also limiting interactivity. The absence of privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies indicates compliance gaps, especially concerning GDPR. WHOIS data aligns well with the website's purpose and geographic focus, showing consistent registration details and no privacy protection, which supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional for its intended purpose but would benefit from enhanced security measures, privacy compliance documentation, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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

  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.

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The website operates as a government-related service tool focused on childcare subsidy calculations for Swiss municipalities. Its market positioning is niche, serving local governments and families within Switzerland. The business model revolves around providing a free or publicly accessible calculator to simplify subsidy computations, likely funded or supported by municipal budgets or government programs. The absence of commercial elements such as advertising or affiliate programs suggests a non-profit or public service orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous Swiss municipal and educational domains, indicating collaboration or endorsement by local authorities. Growth indicators are not evident from the site content, and no parent or subsidiary companies are mentioned. The site’s operations appear stable but limited in scope, focusing on delivering a specific utility rather than broad commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website’s security maturity is low to moderate. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or modern security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential non-compliance with GDPR and related data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the ability to handle security incidents effectively. The absence of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks but also limits insight into user behavior for security monitoring. Overall, the site’s security posture requires significant improvements to meet modern standards, especially given its public service nature and potential handling of sensitive family data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  3. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and incident reporting.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML5 and CSS without reliance on modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms. This simplicity reduces complexity and potential attack vectors but also limits functionality and scalability. The site lacks advanced SEO features such as structured data or Open Graph tags, which could improve search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching mechanisms. Mobile optimization is basic, ensuring usability on smaller screens but without advanced responsive design techniques. Accessibility features are minimal, which could hinder users with disabilities. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests a privacy-first approach but also limits data-driven improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is simple and functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
