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

2 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 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. 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

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

Suva operates in the government and insurance sectors, providing essential accident insurance and prevention services in Switzerland. Its business model is centered on public service with a focus on risk mitigation and rehabilitation. The company benefits from a strong market position as a trusted national institution, supported by comprehensive digital tools and user engagement platforms. The website's integration with analytics and user guidance tools like WalkMe suggests a focus on continuous improvement and customer support. Suva's partnerships with major technology providers and transparent privacy practices enhance its credibility and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent compliance. Use of CSRF tokens and secure cookie practices are evident. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact details represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site should consider publishing a security.txt file and explicit incident response procedures to further strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Angular framework with Sitecore CMS backend, ensuring a scalable and maintainable infrastructure. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Vimeo, and WalkMe indicates a well-rounded approach to analytics, privacy, multimedia content, and user assistance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The use of structured metadata and Open Graph tags supports SEO and social media sharing. Hosting appears to be reliable with Cloudflare or Swiss-based providers, contributing to security and availability. 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.
