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

Sempachersee Tourismus operates a regional tourism website focused on promoting the Sempachersee area in Switzerland. The site provides comprehensive information on local events, leisure activities, accommodation options, and regional highlights, targeting tourists and visitors interested in the region. The business model centers on regional tourism promotion and information dissemination, positioning itself as a key regional tourism authority. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and React, integrating analytics tools like Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Piwik PRO. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and absence of consent mechanisms. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with the business focus. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy 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

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 website serves as a digital gateway for the Sempachersee region's tourism sector, offering event listings, accommodation details, and leisure activity information. Its competitive advantage lies in its official regional branding and comprehensive content tailored to tourists. The business model is informational and promotional, likely funded by regional tourism authorities or local stakeholders. The target customer segment includes leisure travelers, families, and cultural tourists. Growth indicators include integration with regional apps and digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes regional blogs and content platforms. Strategic observations suggest a focus on enhancing digital presence and user engagement through modern web technologies.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site uses multiple third-party tracking scripts, increasing privacy risks without visible consent management. Overall, the security posture requires improvements in policy transparency, header implementation, and privacy compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy including security contact emails (e.g., security@ or abuse@) and vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  4. Audit and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update technical infrastructure to maintain performance, security, and compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with modern JavaScript frameworks including Vue.js and React for dynamic content rendering. It integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Piwik PRO, and Crowdriff for user tracking and content promotion. The site uses responsive design techniques ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and media content. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times, enhance security configurations, and improve privacy compliance to align with best practices.
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.
