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

The Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Pneumologie (SGPP) is a Swiss non-profit professional association dedicated to pediatric pulmonology. The organization serves medical professionals specializing in respiratory and lung diseases in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. Their website provides information about the society, educational events, research projects, and publications relevant to their field. The site is primarily in German with French language support, targeting Swiss healthcare professionals. The business model is focused on professional networking, education, and research facilitation within the pediatric pulmonology community in Switzerland. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Rocksolid Slider for UI components. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive design and includes accessibility features such as skip navigation links. SEO is adequately addressed with proper meta tags and multilingual support. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response information published. Security headers are not visibly configured, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. No analytics or advertising scripts are detected, minimizing tracking risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced HTTP security headers. The website is trustworthy and professional, with no adult or questionable content. WHOIS data aligns with the organization's identity and location, supporting legitimacy. Contact information is limited but includes a phone number and a contact page. There are no social media or external analytics integrations. Strategic recommendations include publishing formal security policies, adding security headers, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

  4. 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

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

SGPP occupies a niche position as a specialized medical society in Switzerland, focusing on pediatric pulmonology. Its competitive advantage lies in its professional network and role as a knowledge hub for pediatric respiratory diseases. The non-profit business model relies on membership and educational activities rather than commercial revenue. The target customers are pediatric pulmonologists, researchers, and healthcare providers in Switzerland. Growth indicators include active event listings and research project coordination. The partnership ecosystem includes the Swiss Working Group for Cystic Fibrosis (SWGCF) and web design partner cybustyle.ch. The organization maintains a focused and professional online presence with clear branding and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of analytics and advertising scripts reduces privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is acceptable for a non-commercial professional association but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards.
  5. Consider adding verified contact emails and social media links to improve communication and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Contao CMS, a well-known open-source content management system, combined with jQuery and Rocksolid Slider for interactive elements. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML or scripts. SEO is supported by meta tags and multilingual content. No modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced backend technologies are detected, indicating a traditional web stack. There is room for modernization and optimization, especially in security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
