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

Prowildtierschutz.ch is a Swiss non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife protection, wild accident prevention, and public education. The website serves as an informational platform targeting the general public and stakeholders interested in wildlife safety and accident prevention. It offers resources such as training, awareness campaigns, and information about wildlife and accident reporting. The organization maintains a moderate market position within the niche of wildlife protection in Switzerland, leveraging social media channels like Facebook, Twitter (X), and YouTube to extend its outreach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, enhanced with plugins such as WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Jetpack, and Complianz GDPR for cookie consent management. The infrastructure is supported by Automattic's CDN and hosting services, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO practices are well implemented with structured data and meta tags, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers. It uses security plugins to mitigate spam and bot activity. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, representing areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with a clear focus on its mission. The absence of privacy and terms policies, as well as limited visible contact information, slightly reduce its privacy compliance and business credibility scores. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen the site's security posture and user trust.

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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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

Prowildtierschutz.ch operates as a small Swiss non-profit focused on wildlife protection and accident prevention. Its business model centers on education, awareness, and training services rather than commercial sales, although WooCommerce is present possibly for donations or merchandise. The target audience includes local communities, hunters, drivers, and environmental stakeholders. The organization leverages social media for community engagement and information dissemination. The website's market positioning is niche but important within Swiss wildlife conservation efforts. There is no indication of parent companies or subsidiaries. The site’s content and branding are consistent and professionally presented, supporting its credibility in the non-profit sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, proper SSL configuration, and standard security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options. Security plugins like honeypot are used to reduce spam and bot attacks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure processes indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and establishing clear channels for reporting security incidents to enhance its security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response information, including dedicated contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Divi theme providing a flexible and visually appealing design. The use of popular plugins like WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Jetpack, and Complianz GDPR indicates a well-rounded technical stack addressing e-commerce, SEO, analytics, and privacy compliance needs. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Automattic, ensuring reliable performance. The site shows moderate loading speeds and good mobile responsiveness. Some technical debt may exist due to the use of older jQuery versions and the need for enhanced accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively but could be modernized further to improve performance and security.
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.
