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

The Schweizerischer Turnverband (Swiss Gymnastics Federation) operates the website stv-fsg.ch as the official national body for gymnastics in Switzerland. The site provides extensive information on various gymnastics disciplines, training programs, events, memberships, and partnerships. It targets athletes, trainers, clubs, and sports enthusiasts within Switzerland, positioning itself as a key non-profit organization in the Swiss sports sector. The business model focuses on member services, education, event management, and sponsorship collaborations. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user experience insights. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, representing areas for improvement. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with the organization's identity. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with a strong focus on user privacy and compliance. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and contact information would further strengthen its posture.

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. 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"

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

The Swiss Gymnastics Federation holds a prominent position as the national governing body for gymnastics in Switzerland, serving a medium-sized organization within the sports non-profit sector. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive service offerings including training, event organization, and member support, backed by strong partnerships with major Swiss brands like Coop and Concordia. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, sponsorships, and event-related income. The target customer segments encompass athletes, trainers, clubs, and sports enthusiasts. Growth indicators include active digital presence, diversified sports disciplines, and ongoing partnerships. The federation maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with recognized Swiss companies, enhancing its market presence and operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics tools is managed with consent, mitigating privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and clear security contact points to enhance trust and incident management capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel, such as a security@ email address.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including official emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. Integration of Google Tag Manager and Hotjar reflects a focus on analytics and user behavior insights. The site employs modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with responsive design for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization in asset delivery and caching. Accessibility features are present, supporting a broad user base. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the presence of HTTPS and security headers suggests a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security transparency.
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.
