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

The Société Biblique de Genève is a well-established non-profit organization founded in 1917, focused on the translation, publication, and dissemination of the Bible and Christian literature primarily in Switzerland and French-speaking regions. Their business model centers on making the Bible accessible at low cost, supported by donations and community engagement. The website reflects a consistent brand with clear messaging and a focus on educational and religious content targeting a broad audience including youth and Christian bookstores. Technically, the website employs modern web standards with HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap framework, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable Swiss provider. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms were detected, reducing risk exposure. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism and only basic privacy/legal mentions. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional with a good security baseline but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 Société Biblique de Genève holds a strong market position as a historic and respected non-profit in the religious publishing sector. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing legacy, multilingual Bible editions, and broad distribution network including physical bookstores and digital applications. Revenue streams are primarily donation-based and sales of low-cost Bibles and related literature. Their target customers include individual readers, youth, and Christian bookstores. The organization maintains partnerships with various digital Bible platforms to extend reach. Growth indicators include digital app usage and sustained distribution volumes. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital engagement and improve compliance frameworks to align with evolving data protection regulations.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose users to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a detailed privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks proactively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean, modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics integration. Hosting is stable with Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable Swiss provider. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and canonical links. No CMS or complex backend detected, reducing attack surface but also limiting dynamic content capabilities. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and enhanced keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
