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

Solothurner Filmtage is a well-established Swiss film festival dedicated to showcasing Swiss cinema and supporting filmmakers. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for festival programming, industry offerings, media information, and ticketing services. It targets film professionals, media representatives, and the general public interested in Swiss film culture. The business model revolves around event organization, cultural promotion, and partnerships with sponsors and media entities. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization.

Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR in terms of privacy policy availability, but could improve transparency on cookie usage and incident response.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 festival holds a significant cultural position in Switzerland's media sector, leveraging partnerships with major organizations like Swiss Life and SRG SSR. Its business model includes revenue from ticket sales, sponsorships, and industry services. The website's clear navigation and rich content support engagement with its target audience. The presence of social media links and active marketing tools indicates a mature digital presence. However, the absence of explicit cookie consent and security disclosure may pose compliance risks. The festival's medium size and focused sector suggest a stable but niche market position with opportunities for growth through enhanced digital trust and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a visible cookie consent mechanism and absence of a security or incident response policy reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts without explicit consent may pose privacy compliance challenges. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in privacy transparency and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear and user-friendly cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR cookie requirements.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security collaboration.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic reviews to maintain compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with integrations of Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook SDK, Vimeo, and YouTube APIs. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, as no common CMS signatures were detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The presence of multiple preloaded fonts and images indicates attention to user experience. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience but should be monitored for third-party script impact on performance and security.
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.
