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. 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Rega holds a leading position in the Swiss air rescue sector, operating as a non-profit foundation funded primarily through patronage and donations. Their business model focuses on providing critical emergency medical transport and rescue services, supported by a loyal patron base and public donations. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with active communication channels including newsletters, news updates, and social media engagement. Partnerships with media and technology providers are evident, enhancing their outreach and operational transparency. The organization targets a broad audience including patients, donors, and emergency responders, emphasizing trust and reliability. Growth indicators include ongoing fleet upgrades and public engagement initiatives. The absence of commercial advertising suggests a focus on service rather than profit.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. Cookie consent banners comply with GDPR requirements, offering users control over performance and marketing cookies. The use of reputable third-party analytics and tracking tools is balanced with privacy considerations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers were not explicitly identified, suggesting potential enhancement opportunities. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formal documentation and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency by providing direct security contact channels for users and researchers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. Integration with Vimeo for video content and Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics reflects a modern digital marketing and user experience approach. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance appears moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets. The presence of multiple language versions supports internationalization. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of explicit security headers and incident response information could pose future challenges. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve hosting transparency.
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.
