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

Offene Kirche Elisabethen Basel operates as a non-profit church organization based in Switzerland, providing community church services and event hosting. The website serves as a platform for event information and booking, leveraging WordPress and the EventPrime plugin for event management. The target audience is the general public interested in church activities and community events. The organization holds a local market position as the first city church in Switzerland, focusing on community engagement rather than commercial activities. Technically, the website is built on a modern CMS with standard plugins, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and nonce-based AJAX security, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The site does not employ extensive tracking or advertising, indicating a privacy-conscious approach, though GDPR compliance is incomplete due to missing policies. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and improving accessibility and compliance to strengthen trust and security.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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 positions itself as a community-focused non-profit church, leveraging digital tools to facilitate event management and user engagement. Its business model centers on community service rather than revenue generation, with event bookings likely supporting operational costs. The use of PayPal for payments indicates integration with mainstream payment services. The absence of social media links or marketing tools suggests a limited digital marketing strategy, focusing on organic community reach. The website's consistent branding and professional content support a trustworthy image. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital presence and improving compliance to meet regulatory standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of nonce tokens for AJAX requests, reducing risk of CSRF attacks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt file or incident response contact channels limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved with standard hardening measures and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor and EventPrime plugins, indicating a mature and widely supported technology stack. The use of minified CSS and JavaScript files suggests some performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and the site uses standard meta tags for SEO, though no advanced SEO or accessibility features were detected. The site lacks integration with analytics or marketing tools, which reduces tracking but also limits marketing insights. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
