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

Thurgau Tourismus operates a regional tourism website promoting the Thurgau and Bodensee region in Switzerland, focusing on nature experiences, culture, and family-friendly activities. The website provides travel tips, hotel recommendations, and leisure activity suggestions, targeting tourists and families interested in this Swiss region. The business model centers on tourism promotion and information dissemination, positioning itself as a key regional tourism authority. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS with Bootstrap for styling and includes modern integrations such as Weglot for multilingual support, Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management, Plausible Analytics for privacy-friendly visitor tracking, and Google Tag Manager for marketing tags. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements multiple security headers, and uses a robust cookie consent mechanism with granular controls. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security governance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a reliable source for regional tourism information. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and considering a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen security posture and user trust.

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

3 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

  3. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Thurgau Tourismus holds a strong regional market position as a tourism promoter for the Thurgau and Bodensee area in Switzerland. Its competitive advantage lies in providing comprehensive, localized travel content and leveraging multilingual support to reach diverse audiences. The business model is informational and promotional, likely funded by regional tourism budgets or partnerships. Revenue streams may include partnerships with local hotels and service providers. The target customer segments are tourists, families, and culture/nature enthusiasts. Growth indicators include multilingual content and modern digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Weglot and Cookiebot. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding digital engagement and enhancing security transparency to maintain market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The use of Cookiebot ensures granular user consent management, and Plausible Analytics offers privacy-friendly tracking. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. These gaps could impact user trust and compliance with evolving regulations such as NIS2. The security culture appears focused on technical controls but could benefit from enhanced policy communication and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and integrations to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS (Contao) with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and SEO. It integrates multiple third-party services including Weglot for translations, Cookiebot for consent management, Plausible and Google Analytics for analytics, and Userlike for chat support. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible technical debt or deprecated technologies. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the use of CDN and cloud services is evident. Technical risks are minimal but should be managed through regular updates and security audits.
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.
