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

Parldigi is a Swiss parliamentary group dedicated to promoting digital sustainability and responsible digital transformation within the public sector. The organization advocates for digital sovereignty, open source adoption, and sustainable digital policies, targeting Swiss parliamentarians, government bodies, and related stakeholders. Their activities include policy advocacy, organizing hearings, publishing news, and educational MasterClass programs. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and integrates modern web technologies, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks some advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the organization's identity, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

6 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Parldigi occupies a niche position as a political and non-profit entity focused on digital sustainability in Switzerland. Its competitive advantage lies in its parliamentary connections and focus on emerging digital sovereignty issues. The business model is advocacy and education-driven, with revenue likely from memberships, events, and partnerships. The target audience includes policymakers, public sector organizations, and IT companies interested in open source and sustainable digital practices. The organization maintains partnerships with academic institutions like Berner Fachhochschule and engages actively on LinkedIn, enhancing its visibility and influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of common WordPress security plugins implied. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not provide a security.txt or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of formal security and incident response policies suggests room for improvement in compliance and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial political group but could be enhanced to build greater trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It uses plugins for team management, real-time form validation, and social media integration (SociableKIT for LinkedIn posts). The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies on third-party domains. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were observed, but security headers and privacy compliance need attention.
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.
