Movetia is a Swiss national agency dedicated to promoting exchange and mobility in the education sector. It operates on behalf of the Swiss federal and cantonal governments to finance and support educational exchange projects, including class exchanges, internships, and cooperation projects. The website targets educational institutions, youth, and professionals involved in education and mobility. It offers funding opportunities, advisory services, event information, and project management portals. The agency maintains a strong market position as a trusted government-related entity in Switzerland's education ecosystem. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including ES modules, Vite build tools, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, with structured data enhancing SEO. The content is professionally designed, multilingual, and rich in relevant information. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no public security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy of the domain and its alignment with the agency's identity. Overall, Movetia's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security, and compliance suitable for a government-affiliated educational agency. Strategic improvements could include adding explicit security headers, publishing a security policy, and enhancing incident response transparency.

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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. 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)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Business profile

Movetia operates as a government-backed agency focusing on educational exchange and mobility within Switzerland and internationally. Its business model revolves around funding, supporting, and advising educational projects and collaborations. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its official mandate and comprehensive service offerings, including funding programs, advisory services, and digital project management tools. The target customers are educational institutions, youth groups, and professionals in education. The website indicates active engagement through events, magazines, and social media, signaling growth and outreach efforts. Partnerships with platforms like matchnmove.ch and use of third-party form services support operational efficiency. The agency's transparent contact information and structured data enhance trust and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could be beneficial for transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible trust indicators such as certifications or compliance badges.

Notes

The website is built using modern web development practices, including ES modules and Vite for asset bundling and optimization. It leverages SVG icons for scalable graphics and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is multilingual with hreflang tags for language targeting. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present, contributing to a good user experience. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS detected. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, accessible, and SEO-friendly website suitable for a government agency.
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.
