Risk levelMedium

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

RSS Medienschule is a Swiss-based media education institution offering practical training in radio, video, and social media production. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and standard web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. The site is well-designed with good mobile optimization and basic SEO features, targeting German-speaking audiences interested in media education. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and some security hardening scripts in place, but lacks comprehensive security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and no visible consent mechanisms. Business credibility is supported by consistent branding and legitimate WHOIS registration data matching the Swiss educational focus. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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 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 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. 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

The RSS Medienschule operates in the education and media sectors, focusing on practical media training. It targets individuals seeking skills in radio, video, and social media production, positioning itself as a regional education provider in Switzerland. The business model revolves around offering courses and training programs. The website content and metadata emphasize a creative and hands-on learning approach. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website data. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a clear market niche. The lack of visible certifications or trust badges suggests opportunities to strengthen market trust. The digital presence is adequate but could be improved with more transparent contact and policy information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. Security best practices include the use of scripts to harden fetch and XMLHttpRequest calls, reducing risks from malicious requests. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security policy or incident response contact information limits the site's readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance gaps, including missing cookie consent and privacy policies, present compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Consider publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program (security.txt) to enhance trust and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using the Thunderbolt framework, which provides a modern and modular JavaScript and CSS infrastructure. The site uses polyfills for browser compatibility and performance APIs for timing. Hosting is managed by Wix, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL support. The site shows moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced SEO schema beyond a simple WebSite JSON-LD. The technical stack is modern but limited by the Wix platform's constraints. There is no evidence of custom backend or advanced integrations. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO further.
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.
