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

SvizzeraEnergia is an official program of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy aimed at supporting voluntary measures to implement Swiss energy policy. The website serves as an informational platform targeting stakeholders in the Swiss energy sector and the general public interested in energy policy. It is positioned as a government-backed initiative with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. Technically, the website is built using modern static site generation technology (Gatsby) and includes multimedia support via Video.js and Uppy for file uploads, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with no detected security headers or incident response information, suggesting room for improvement in security best practices. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 website represents a government program focused on energy policy in Switzerland, providing support and information for voluntary energy measures. Its market position is strong as an official federal initiative, targeting energy professionals, policymakers, and the public. The business model is non-commercial, centered on policy support and information dissemination. The presence of alternate language domains indicates a multilingual approach to reach all Swiss linguistic regions. The site does not engage in advertising or affiliate marketing, reflecting its public service nature. Partnerships with related Swiss energy sites reinforce its ecosystem. Growth indicators are aligned with government policy updates rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is moderate. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided HTML content. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which are important for transparency and security readiness. No forms or input fields were found, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and related regulations. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the site is low risk but should improve security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Include clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update technical stack and security configurations to maintain compliance and protect user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Gatsby 5.11.0, a modern React-based static site generator, ensuring good performance and SEO capabilities. It uses Video.js for media playback and Uppy for file uploads, indicating support for rich media content. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. However, no CMS or dynamic backend was detected, suggesting limited content management flexibility. Performance is moderate, with some external asset loading from content delivery networks. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and privacy mechanisms represents a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
