PEPra is a Swiss healthcare education platform operated under the FMH Swiss Medical Association, focusing on prevention in primary care practice. It offers evidence-based training and information for physicians and medical practice assistants, covering topics such as alcohol, tobacco, drug use, and mental health. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies including Vue.js and Bootstrap, hosted likely behind Cloudflare with captcha protections to secure forms. The platform integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking, with moderate privacy compliance and clear contact information. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and captcha, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and serves a niche professional audience in Switzerland.

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

4 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 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

PEPra occupies a niche in the Swiss healthcare education market, leveraging its association with the FMH Swiss Medical Association to build trust and authority. Its business model centers on providing paid and free training events, both online and in-person, targeting healthcare professionals focused on prevention. The platform supports user engagement through subscription notifications and event registrations. Partnerships with Swiss health promotion organizations enhance its credibility. The site’s technical infrastructure supports scalability and multilingual content, indicating a mature digital presence. Growth potential lies in expanding training topics and increasing event availability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to prevent automated abuse, and client-side form validation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers like Content-Security-Policy suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Concrete CMS as its content management system, combined with Bootstrap 5 and Vue.js for frontend interactivity. It integrates internationalization support and client-side validation with Vuelidate. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha indicates a proactive approach to bot mitigation. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and structured with semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-suited for the site's educational purpose.
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.
