Risk levelHigh

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

The Schweizer Casino Verband website serves as the official information portal for the Swiss casino industry, providing details about physical and online casinos, industry reports, player protection initiatives, and job opportunities. The site targets Swiss residents and stakeholders interested in regulated gambling and casino operations. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, with a moderate level of mobile optimization and basic accessibility. However, visible PHP warnings indicate backend code issues that could affect user experience and security. Security posture is moderate but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance documentation. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. The site links to official Swiss online casinos and a dedicated player protection partner site, reinforcing its legitimacy and focus on responsible gambling. Overall, the site is professional and informative but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

The Schweizer Casino Verband operates as an important industry association within the hospitality sector, representing 19 physical casinos and 10 legal online casinos in Switzerland. It acts as a central information hub and advocate for the casino industry, emphasizing player protection and regulatory compliance. The association publishes annual reports and media releases, indicating transparency and engagement with stakeholders. Its business model is based on industry representation rather than direct gambling services. The presence of job postings suggests active organizational growth. The website's partnership with playerprotection.ch highlights a commitment to responsible gambling. Market positioning is strong within the Swiss regulated gambling environment, serving as a trusted source for casino-related information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level but has notable gaps. The presence of PHP warnings in the navigation menu exposes potential information leakage and indicates insufficient error handling. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests incomplete GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site uses HTTPS (implied by base href), but SSL configuration details are unknown. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements in error management, header implementation, and privacy compliance to reduce risk and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Fix all PHP warnings and errors to prevent information leakage and improve site stability.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish security contact information.
  5. Improve accessibility and SEO by adding structured data and meta tags for better indexing and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery. It lacks a detected CMS or modern web frameworks. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but has visible PHP warnings indicating backend issues. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting minimal user tracking. SEO is basic with minimal meta descriptions and no structured data. The site could benefit from modernization including improved error handling, enhanced SEO metadata, and adoption of security best practices. Hosting provider and SSL details are not available from the provided data.
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.
