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

The Swiss Seniors Open website represents a well-established professional golf tournament held annually in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. The event targets professional golfers over 50, amateurs, and sponsors, positioning itself as the oldest and one of the most prestigious tournaments on the Legends Tour. The site is professionally designed, content-rich, and provides comprehensive information about the event, sponsorship opportunities, and media coverage. The business model revolves around event organization, sponsorship, and promotion within the hospitality and sports sectors. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and FuseDeck for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance metrics. External integrations include Vimeo for video content and multiple partner domains linked for sponsorship and event support. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement in hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the website scores highly on content quality, technical implementation, privacy compliance, and business credibility, with minor recommendations to enhance security posture and transparency. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

8 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 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"

    • 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 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

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 Seniors Open holds a strong market position as the oldest tournament on the Legends Tour, attracting professional golfers aged 50 and above and amateur participants through its Alliance ProAm format. Its competitive advantage lies in its scenic location at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, combining world-class golf infrastructure with hospitality excellence. Revenue streams likely include sponsorship packages, event ticketing, and media rights. The target customer segments include golf professionals, amateurs, sponsors, and golf enthusiasts. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving local golf clubs, hospitality providers, and corporate sponsors such as Emil Frey. Strategic observations highlight the event's growth potential through enhanced digital presence and expanded sponsorship offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and FuseDeck is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. Security headers are not detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No immediate vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found, but regular security audits and implementation of security best practices such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options headers are recommended to strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Conduct regular third-party script audits and update dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, a mature and widely used content management system. It uses jQuery for client-side scripting and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. FuseDeck is used for consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. Video content is embedded via Vimeo. The site is responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and updated dependency management to reduce technical risks.
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.
