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

Opferhilfe beider Basel is a regional non-profit organization dedicated to supporting victims of violence in the Basel area of Switzerland. The website serves as an informational and advisory platform, offering guidance, support, and resources for victims of various forms of violence including sexualized violence, domestic violence, hate crimes, and more. The organization targets victims and their close relatives, providing free consultation services as mandated by the Swiss Victim Support Act. The site is multilingual, enhancing accessibility for diverse audiences. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using Elementor for design and layout, WPML for multilingual support, and WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, fast loading times, and solid SEO practices through Yoast SEO integration. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content. There is no evidence of security policy documentation or incident response contacts, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts GDPR compliance and user trust. Overall, Opferhilfe beider Basel presents a trustworthy and professional online presence for a non-profit victim support entity. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, adding security headers, and providing incident response information to strengthen security posture and compliance.

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. 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';…
  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. 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on victim support and violence prevention. Its market position is regional, serving the Basel community with specialized services for victims of various violence types. The business model is service-oriented, funded likely through public or private grants and donations, with no commercial sales evident. The multilingual website and partnerships such as with bleibnichtallein.ch indicate a collaborative approach to outreach and awareness. The site content and structure suggest a small-sized organization with a focused mission. Growth indicators include active campaigns and diverse service offerings. The partnership ecosystem is limited but relevant to victim support and prevention. The website's professional design and clear navigation support effective communication with target audiences. However, the lack of explicit privacy and security policies may limit trust among privacy-conscious users and stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and performance optimizers suggests maintenance of technical hygiene. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. GDPR compliance is incomplete due to missing privacy and cookie policies. There is no indication of a dedicated Data Protection Officer or security framework adherence. Potential vulnerabilities are not evident from the HTML content, but the site would benefit from enhanced security documentation and technical controls. The security score reflects these strengths and gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file or equivalent vulnerability disclosure policy with contact channels for incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear data protection officer contact information to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor page builder, leveraging WPML for multilingual content and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Performance is optimized using WP Rocket caching and lazy loading scripts. The site uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. The HTML structure is valid and includes modern meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. The site is mobile responsive and supports multiple languages with hreflang tags. No hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site loads quickly and uses minified CSS and deferred JavaScript to improve performance. There is some inline CSS and custom styling for navigation and icons. The technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
