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

Verein Region Oberaargau is a regional non-profit organization focused on promoting and shaping life, work, and leisure in the Oberaargau region of Switzerland. Their key services include energy consulting, regional development, and regional politics. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's proprietary frameworks and hosting services. The technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and some script-based security hardening, but lacks advanced security headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image consistent with a small regional government or non-profit entity.

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. 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

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 operates in the government and energy sectors, targeting residents and stakeholders in the Oberaargau region. Its business model revolves around community and regional development services, supported by public or regional funding. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, indicating a stable market position within its niche. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website data. The lack of social media presence or advanced marketing tools suggests a focus on direct community engagement rather than broad digital marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS and some script-based protections. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve resilience against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Create a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, using Wix Thunderbolt and related proprietary technologies. It uses modern JavaScript polyfills and performance APIs to ensure compatibility and performance. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for local business information, improving SEO. However, SEO optimization is basic, with no advanced metadata beyond standard Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, typical for Wix-hosted sites. The technical stack is stable but limited in customization and advanced security features.
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.
