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

Sucht Schweiz is a Swiss non-profit foundation dedicated to preventing problems related to the consumption of psychoactive substances and addictive behaviors. The organization operates with a clear mission focused on research, prevention, information dissemination, and advocacy. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support, professional design, and modern web technologies including WordPress, Yoast SEO, and Usercentrics for cookie consent. It prominently features donation options and provides extensive content on addiction-related topics, targeting both the general public and professionals in the field. Technically, the site is well-implemented with good SEO, mobile optimization, and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Contact information is not explicitly provided in the HTML content, which could be improved for transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a strong alignment between WHOIS data and business claims, indicating legitimacy. The content is safe for a mature audience, focusing on health and addiction prevention without any explicit or NSFW material.

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. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Sucht Schweiz holds a strong position in the Swiss non-profit sector focused on addiction prevention and research. Its business model revolves around providing educational resources, conducting research, and influencing policy. The presence of multilingual sites and a dedicated webshop for informational materials suggests a broad outreach strategy. The organization likely relies on donations and partnerships to fund its activities. The website's content and structure indicate a well-established entity with a clear target audience including affected individuals, families, and professionals. Strategic partnerships with related addiction organizations in other Swiss language regions enhance its market presence and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Usercentrics for cookie consent shows attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, which limits transparency for security researchers. The site does not show signs of WAF or blocking mechanisms, indicating open accessibility. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security policy page and provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact transparency by including verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using a modern theme framework (Flynt) and enhanced with popular plugins like Yoast SEO for search optimization. It integrates Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and uses Swiper.js and Rellax.js for interactive UI elements like sliders and parallax effects. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and ARIA labels. Performance appears moderate with responsive images and lazy loading. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure suitable for the organization's needs.
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.
