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

KulturLegi.ch is a Swiss non-profit initiative operated by Caritas that provides a discount card to individuals with limited financial means, enabling access to over 4,200 offers in culture, sports, education, and health sectors across Switzerland. The website is well-branded, consistent, and targets socially disadvantaged groups to promote inclusion. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with good navigation and content quality. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance evident through cookie consent and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the business claims, enhancing trust and legitimacy.

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. 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
    • 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
      • 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 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 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

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 organization leverages its strong association with Caritas and ZEWO certification to position itself as a trusted social inclusion service in Switzerland. Its business model focuses on providing discounted access to cultural and social services, targeting low-income individuals. The multilingual site and regional segmentation indicate a broad national reach. Partnerships with regional and language-specific sites like carteculture.ch extend its ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests centralized contact management through Caritas. The site’s content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear calls to action such as card application and partner engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and anonymized IP tracking in analytics, alongside a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies limit transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with more explicit security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen protection.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and transparency.
  4. Consider adding direct contact methods such as a dedicated support email or phone number for user inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and analytics configurations to maintain security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with Bootstrap 3.3.6 for responsive design and various JavaScript libraries including jQuery UI, Owl Carousel, and Lightbox2 for enhanced user experience. Google Maps API integration supports location-based services. Analytics are managed via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with IP anonymization enabled. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, though upgrading Bootstrap to a more recent version could be considered for future-proofing.
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.
