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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on sports and social inclusion. Its business model centers on community engagement and event organization rather than commercial revenue. The target audience includes individuals with intellectual disabilities and their supporters in Switzerland. The website's integration with multiple social media platforms and marketing tools indicates an active outreach and partnership ecosystem. While no direct revenue streams are visible, the organization's market presence is solid, supported by consistent branding and trust signals such as official social media and structured data markup.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers in place. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance for tracking and marketing cookies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance transparency and compliance.
Provide incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security email address.
Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Regularly review and update cookie and tracking consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Notes
The website is powered by WordPress CMS with multilingual capabilities via WPML. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. Performance is moderate, supported by WP Rocket caching. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were identified. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and publish more detailed technical and security documentation.
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.
