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

Thurbo AG is a regional railway company operating in Eastern Switzerland and parts of Southern Germany, providing passenger rail services primarily targeting commuters and regional travelers. The company is a subsidiary of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), positioning it as a key player in the regional transportation sector. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. The technical infrastructure includes modern tracking and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Adobe DTM, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, alongside a robust cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, security headers present, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence. However, the site lacks a public security policy and incident response contact details, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the website.

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. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

Thurbo operates in the transportation sector as a regional rail service provider, leveraging its relationship with SBB to maintain a strong market position. The business model focuses on passenger transport services with revenue likely derived from ticket sales and public funding. The target audience includes daily commuters, regional travelers, and tourists. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and professional communication. The presence of official contact information and GDPR-compliant policies further supports business credibility. The partnership with SBB enhances operational capabilities and market reach. No suspicious or fraudulent patterns were detected in the domain registration or website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of cookie consent and privacy mechanisms aligns with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response information represents a gap in transparency and preparedness communication. The tracking technologies used are standard but should be continuously monitored for privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party tracking and marketing tools to ensure privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. Integration of Google Tag Manager, Adobe DTM, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar shows advanced analytics and marketing capabilities. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript assets, with asynchronous loading of tracking scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, supporting responsive design. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are well implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but appear reliable given the security posture. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected in the provided content.
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.
