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

Safran Zunft is a traditional yet modern restaurant located in the heart of Basel, Switzerland, operated by Rifonsa AG. The business offers a blend of traditional ambiance with innovative cuisine focusing on local and seasonal products. It caters to a diverse clientele including local residents, tourists, and corporate clients, providing services such as restaurant dining, event hosting, catering, and home delivery. The website reflects a well-established hospitality business with multiple certifications and a strong local presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern tools such as WPBakery Page Builder, Google Tag Manager, and Mailchimp for marketing automation. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with structured data implemented via JSON-LD. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, security headers are not explicitly present and there is no visible security policy or vulnerability disclosure page, which could be improved. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to further strengthen security posture.

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. 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

      • 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"

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

Safran Zunft operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on traditional and modern culinary experiences in Basel. Its competitive advantage lies in its historic location, certified quality labels, and diversified service offerings including events and catering. The business model is service-oriented with revenue streams from restaurant operations, event hosting, catering, and online orders. The target customers include local residents, tourists, and corporate clients. The company is part of a larger hospitality group (Groupe Oniro) with several partner establishments, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active social media presence, multiple certifications, and a professional digital footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency in security management. The WHOIS data is consistent and not privacy protected, which is appropriate for this business type. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and lazy loading for images. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Mailchimp for email marketing. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and loads external resources asynchronously to improve performance. SEO is enhanced with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for improvement in security headers and accessibility.
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.
