Verein Rüeblimärt Aarau · Retail · Switzerland

High risk. 12 critical or high findings in Network security, Security headers and 3 other checks.

Security score

41/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Verein Rüeblimärt Aarau organizes one of Switzerland's largest annual markets focused on regional products, sustainability, and community engagement. The website effectively communicates the event's nature, schedule, and cultural significance, targeting a general audience interested in local produce and natural experiences. Technically, the site employs modern web standards including responsive images and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, and security headers are not evident, which are areas for improvement. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Rüeblimärt Aarau holds a strong market position as a major regional event promoting local agriculture and sustainability. Its business model centers on event organization and community engagement rather than direct commerce. The website supports this with detailed event information, visitor competitions, and partnerships with local organizations. The presence of social media channels and downloadable event programs indicates active marketing efforts. The organization appears small but well-established within its niche, with no indications of subsidiaries or parent companies. The event's focus on sustainability and regional culture is a competitive advantage in attracting visitors and local producers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics configuration. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency in security matters. No forms were detected, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but should enhance security headers and publish privacy and security policies to improve compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and link it prominently on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and navigation clarity for improved user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5 features including responsive images with the <picture> element and structured JSON-LD data for SEO and rich snippets. Matomo analytics is integrated with privacy settings enabled, showing attention to user privacy. The CSS and JavaScript assets are loaded asynchronously to improve performance. Hosting details are not explicit, but analytics are served from matomo.h2g.ch. The site is mobile optimized and loads with moderate speed. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and formal privacy mechanisms would modernize the security posture.
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.
