Macardo-Club 1904 is a niche hospitality club based in Switzerland, focused on providing an exclusive social and enjoyment experience centered around the Macardo Swiss Distillery brand. The club offers personalized membership cards granting access to a unique honesty bar and cigar lounge, along with events and corporate benefits. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and active event promotion. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern web technologies and SEO best practices, though performance is moderate.

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.
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
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The Macardo-Club operates as an exclusive membership club targeting adult enthusiasts of socializing, fine spirits, and cigars. Its business model revolves around membership fees, exclusive access, and events, supported by a strong brand association with Macardo Swiss Distillery. The club maintains a small but focused market presence in the hospitality sector within Switzerland. The website supports business growth by promoting events, offering corporate memberships, and providing contact channels for inquiries. Partnerships with the main Macardo brand and related entities are evident, enhancing credibility and market reach.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers and published incident response or security policies, which are important for compliance and trust. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. The use of popular and updated plugins reduces risk, but continuous monitoring and policy publication are recommended to improve security maturity and incident readiness.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and plugins. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
