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 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 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

  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

Business profile

Privatklinik Sichtere operates as a specialized private psychiatric clinic serving the Swiss market, particularly the Liestal region. Its affiliation with Psychiatrie Baselland strengthens its market position and credibility. The clinic's business model focuses on providing high-quality inpatient and outpatient psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services, complemented by holistic therapies and social support. The target customers are individuals requiring psychiatric care who value privacy and comfort. The website's content and social media presence indicate a mature digital marketing approach, supporting patient engagement and brand trust. No direct revenue streams are visible on the site, suggesting a traditional healthcare service model likely funded by patient fees and insurance. The absence of suspicious domains or third-party payment processors indicates a low-risk operational environment. The clinic's strategic partnerships appear limited to its parent organization and social media platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent management, reflecting GDPR compliance. The absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts were found, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The use of WordPress and common plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate known vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published policies to improve transparency and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and compliance.
  3. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to standardize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to ensure ongoing compliance and protection.

SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) are well implemented, supporting search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.

No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
