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

The Sportversicherungskasse (SVK) is a specialized non-profit insurance provider serving active members of the Swiss Gymnastics Federation (STV) since 1919. It offers accident and liability insurance tailored to the needs of gymnasts and their clubs, emphasizing rapid financial and advisory support in case of accidents during STV activities. The website reflects a mature, well-established organization with a clear focus on its niche market within Switzerland. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, integrating modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and YouTube APIs for enhanced user engagement and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security policies and incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the SVK website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good privacy compliance and business credibility. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and incident response readiness are recommended to further strengthen its security posture and stakeholder confidence.

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

5 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network 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

  • 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

SVK occupies a niche market as a non-profit insurance cooperative focused on gymnastics members in Switzerland. Its long history since 1919 and affiliation with the Swiss Gymnastics Federation provide competitive advantages and trust signals. The business model centers on providing tailored insurance services with a cooperative structure, targeting active gymnasts and their clubs. Revenue streams likely derive from membership fees and insurance premiums. The partnership ecosystem includes the STV and related insurance entities, with a bilingual web presence supporting German and French-speaking audiences. Growth indicators include digital tools like a toolbox and online claims reporting, enhancing member engagement and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. The absence of explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found, and forms appear secure with no visible injection points. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests limited formal security governance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's scope but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection by detailing data retention policies and security measures in the privacy policy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. Integration of Google Tag Manager and YouTube iframe API demonstrates modern digital marketing and content delivery practices. The site uses ES6 JavaScript modules and custom scripts for cookie consent and UI components, reflecting a contemporary front-end approach. Performance is moderate, with responsive design and accessibility features implemented. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but opportunities exist to optimize security headers and streamline third-party dependencies for improved 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.
