Thurgau Tourismus operates as a regional tourism organization promoting the Thurgau and Bodensee region in Switzerland. The website provides comprehensive information on nature experiences, cultural activities, family-friendly leisure, and accommodation options, targeting tourists and families. The organization positions itself as a key regional player in tourism marketing, leveraging digital channels to engage visitors.

The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses standard security headers, and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature security posture.

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

The business operates in the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on destination marketing for the Thurgau and Bodensee region. Its business model centers on promoting regional attractions, events, and accommodations to increase tourism inflow. The target audience includes families, nature lovers, and cultural tourists. The organization benefits from partnerships with local businesses and uses digital marketing tools to enhance reach. The website content and branding are consistent with regional tourism authorities, supporting a strong market position. Revenue streams likely include tourism promotion funding and partnerships. The absence of terms of service and security policies is typical for this sector but could be improved for transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Cookie consent is actively managed via Cookiebot, indicating GDPR compliance. The use of third-party scripts is controlled, but continuous monitoring is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the analysis. The lack of a public security policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness visibility. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which is a recommended best practice. Overall, the security maturity is good for a tourism website but could be enhanced with formal policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Contao CMS and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. Integration of Weglot enables multilingual support, expanding audience reach. Cookiebot manages consent effectively, supporting privacy compliance. Analytics tools like Plausible and Google Tag Manager provide insights into user behavior while respecting privacy. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting details are not explicit but the presence of security headers and HTTPS indicates a professionally managed environment. Technical debt appears low, but continuous modernization and security audits are advisable.
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.
