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

8 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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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 organization holds a strong market position as the primary MS society in Switzerland, organizing the largest MS Fachkongress and maintaining an extensive network of regional groups and support services. Its non-profit model relies on donations, memberships, and events, targeting MS patients and their support networks. The website reflects a well-established entity with consistent branding and transparent communication. Partnerships with social media platforms and use of marketing tools indicate active engagement strategies. The absence of suspicious domains and privacy protection in WHOIS data supports operational transparency. Growth indicators include active event listings, research projects, and community involvement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, absence of exposed sensitive data, and secure form handling. Use of reputable analytics and marketing scripts is noted, though the site could benefit from additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate clickjacking and content injection risks. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, suggesting an area for improvement. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced with minor technical improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to prevent potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing explicit incident response contact channels.
  5. Maintain and promote ISO certification and privacy compliance to reinforce trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for complex organizational sites. It uses modern web standards, including responsive design and accessibility features, ensuring good user experience across devices. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Omniconvert indicates a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and rich media content. The site employs secure HTTPS connections and standard form validation. Opportunities exist to optimize security headers and streamline third-party dependencies to reduce technical debt and improve loading times.
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.
