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

The Reformierte Kirchgemeinde Gelterkinden-Rickenbach-Tecknau is a small non-profit religious community organization serving the local Swiss communities of Gelterkinden, Rickenbach, and Tecknau. The website provides comprehensive information about religious services, community events, youth and family programs, and educational offerings. It targets local community members and church attendees, emphasizing spiritual engagement and social support. The organization maintains a clear and consistent brand presence with regular content updates and accessible contact information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Event Organiser, with a custom theme likely based on the Genesis Framework. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO practices are adequate with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses anti-spam measures on contact forms but lacks visible security headers such as CSP or HSTS. There is no cookie consent mechanism, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve its privacy compliance and security posture. Strategic enhancements in security headers and cookie consent would strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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

    • 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

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 as a local non-profit church community with a focus on religious services, youth engagement, and social support. Its market position is stable within its geographic area, supported by partnerships with regional church associations and related non-profits. The business model relies on community participation and donations, with no commercial revenue streams evident. The website supports growth through event promotion and volunteer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes regional church bodies and fundraising associations, enhancing community integration and resource sharing.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and anti-spam protections are in place for forms. However, the absence of key security headers and a cookie consent mechanism indicates gaps in best practices and regulatory compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, suggesting limited formal security governance. The minimal tracking and absence of analytics reduce privacy risks but also limit insights into user behavior.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to explicitly address GDPR compliance and user data handling.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining minimal tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with a custom theme and popular plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Event Organiser. The inclusion of Leaflet.js indicates interactive map features. The site loads jQuery and related scripts, with CSS and JS assets properly linked. Performance is moderate with no major errors or broken elements detected. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive menus and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta descriptions, canonical links, and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content.
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.
