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

The Landis & Gyr Foundation is a Swiss non-profit organization dedicated to supporting artistic and cultural projects, primarily focusing on professional and contemporary creative work by artists and writers within Switzerland. The foundation emphasizes collaboration with recognized organizations and has a regional interest in Zug and central Switzerland, while also supporting projects from non-urban areas across the country. The website reflects a niche cultural foundation with a clear mission and professional presentation, targeting artists and cultural entities. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Leaflet.js, and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Hosting and resources are served from computedby.com domains, suggesting a specialized hosting or development provider. The site is mobile-optimized and has good design quality, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and defers scripts for performance, but lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. No contact information or incident response channels are explicitly provided, limiting transparency. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy awareness, but absence of consent mechanisms reduces privacy compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security headers, and clearer contact information to improve user 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

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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)

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

The foundation operates in the cultural and arts sector within Switzerland, focusing on grant-making and project support for artists and writers. Its business model is non-profit, relying on funding and partnerships to support creative work. The foundation's market position is niche, with a regional emphasis on Zug and central Switzerland, targeting a specialized audience of cultural professionals. The website content and structure suggest a stable organization with consistent branding and a clear mission. There is no indication of revenue streams or commercial activities, consistent with a foundation model. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the use of computedby.com for hosting and analytics indicates some external service relationships. Growth indicators and subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory and a strong positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. The use of deferred and async scripts is good for performance and security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Incident response contact channels are not provided, which is a gap for security incident handling. Overall, the security score is moderate with room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident communications.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Key observations

  1. Website is professionally designed with clear focus on arts and culture foundation activities.
  2. No privacy or cookie policies found, which is a compliance gap.
  3. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly provided on the homepage or header/footer.
  4. Use of Matomo analytics indicates some privacy-conscious tracking but no explicit consent mechanism.
  5. No visible security headers detected; opportunity for security improvements.
  6. No forms detected in the provided HTML content.
  7. External resources are loaded from computedby.com domains, likely the hosting or development provider.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack with popular JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders and Leaflet.js for maps, indicating interactive and dynamic content capabilities. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking, reflecting a preference for privacy-friendly analytics over mainstream providers. The site is hosted or served via computedby.com domains, suggesting a specialized hosting provider. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO could be improved with additional ARIA attributes and meta tags. No CMS was detected, implying a custom or static site architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO best practices.
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.
