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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 73 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

    • Medium

      Mixed Content Detected

      4 resources loaded over insecure HTTP

      What to do: Ensure all resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) are loaded over HTTPS

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention sge-ssn.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for sge-ssn.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

SGE holds a strong market position as a leading Swiss nutrition society with a clear non-profit mission. Its business model revolves around education, membership engagement, and advocacy rather than commercial profit. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, donations, event fees, and sales via the online shop. The target audience includes both the general public and professionals in nutrition and health sectors. The organization maintains a partnership ecosystem evident through social media and external links but does not show subsidiary or parent company relationships. Growth indicators include recent updates to nutrition recommendations and active event promotion. Strategically, SGE benefits from its long-standing reputation and comprehensive content offerings. Its digital presence supports outreach and community building, essential for non-profit sustainability. Opportunities exist to enhance security transparency and expand contact channels for incident response.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place. The use of secure session cookies and a cookie consent banner aligns with best practices for privacy and data protection. The integration of Matomo analytics allows for privacy-conscious tracking. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information limits transparency and preparedness. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and formalizing incident response procedures to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. External integrations include Mapbox for mapping and Matomo for analytics, supplemented by Facebook Pixel for marketing. The site loads scripts asynchronously where possible, improving performance. SEO is enhanced through Yoast SEO plugin and structured JSON-LD data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the organization's digital goals effectively.
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.
