Stiftung UNIA operates as a major Swiss trade union representing employees across various sectors. The organization focuses on negotiating collective labour agreements, providing legal advice and protection to its members, and advocating for fair working conditions and social justice. The website serves as an information portal for workers in Switzerland, offering guides, membership information, and resources related to employment rights. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Mouseflow, with appropriate consent mechanisms in place. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a reliable resource for its target audience.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  3. 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

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

Unia holds a strong market position as one of Switzerland's largest trade unions, with contractual partnerships covering approximately 240 collective labour agreements benefiting around 1.2 million employees. Its business model centers on member representation, legal services, and political advocacy. The organization targets employees and workers in Switzerland, leveraging a non-profit structure. The website supports this model by providing accessible information and membership services. The presence of social media and external links to official union sites enhances its partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active political campaigns and initiatives. The union's transparent WHOIS data and consistent branding reinforce its credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, but lacks publicly available incident response or security policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Mouseflow shows a comprehensive approach to analytics and user behavior tracking, balanced with consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses multiple DNS servers but lacks DNSSEC. Hosting appears stable and consistent with the registrar 1API GmbH. Technical debt is minimal, though improvements in security headers and DNS security would reduce risk. Overall, the technical foundation supports the business goals effectively.
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.
