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

Lauf gegen Grenzen is a Swiss non-profit organization that organizes an annual charity run to support the rights of refugees, migrants, and undocumented persons. The event is community-focused, aiming to raise awareness and funds for migration-related causes in Basel. The website is built on WordPress using common libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally presented, but improvements in privacy and security disclosures are recommended.

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

7 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. 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. 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

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.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for laufgegengrenzen.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 organization operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on social justice and migration issues. Its business model revolves around event organization and fundraising. The website targets socially conscious individuals and groups interested in supporting refugee and migrant rights. The site demonstrates consistent branding and clear messaging, positioning itself as a reputable local charity event. There is no evidence of commercial advertising or monetization beyond sponsorship and donations. The partnership ecosystem includes local organizations supporting migrants and undocumented persons.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which limits transparency in case of security events. Forms are present but no explicit security measures like anti-CSRF tokens are visible in the provided content. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Ensure all forms have proper security controls such as anti-CSRF tokens and input validation.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations and disclose data collection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end using jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive images with srcset for performance. The CSS is well-structured with media queries for desktop and mobile. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by image sizes and scripts. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation enhancements.
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.
