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

The website steiner100.ch is a dedicated platform commemorating the 100th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner's death in 2025. It serves as a regional cultural hub focusing on events, exhibitions, and initiatives related to Rudolf Steiner in Northwest Switzerland and the tri-border area. The site targets a general audience interested in cultural, spiritual, and educational activities linked to Steiner's legacy. The business model is non-profit and event-driven, with partnerships involving notable cultural institutions such as the Goetheanum. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, ensuring a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in security and privacy transparency are recommended.

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. 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. 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
      • 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

Steiner100.ch occupies a niche cultural market focused on commemorative events for Rudolf Steiner. Its competitive advantage lies in its regional focus and partnerships with established cultural institutions. The business model relies on event promotion and community engagement rather than commercial revenue streams. The target customers are culturally and spiritually interested individuals in Switzerland and neighboring regions. Growth indicators include a comprehensive event calendar and active partner network. The partnership ecosystem includes the Goetheanum and other local cultural venues, enhancing credibility and reach. Strategic observations suggest potential to expand digital engagement and improve privacy and security compliance to align with evolving regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but the lack of cookie consent mechanisms is a gap. No vulnerable libraries or outdated scripts were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a cultural event site but could be enhanced by implementing best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Expand contact information to include phone and physical address to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Neve theme and several plugins including Events Manager. It uses jQuery and Chart.js for frontend interactivity and data visualization. Google Fonts are loaded for typography. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to standard WordPress overhead and multiple CSS/JS assets. There is no evidence of advanced caching or CDN usage in the provided HTML. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured event data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
