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.

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.

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

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates as an essential government entity focused on economic promotion in the Valais region. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive support services for local and external entrepreneurs, including financial aid, innovation support, and real estate assistance. The business model is service-oriented, funded likely by public resources, targeting regional economic growth. The multilingual approach broadens its reach within Switzerland's linguistic regions. Partnerships with event platforms and sister sites in German and English enhance its ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a clear mission to foster regional economic development. No direct revenue streams or commercial activities are evident on the site, consistent with a government agency profile.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential vulnerabilities to common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of up-to-date WordPress and plugins is implied but should be regularly verified to prevent exploitation. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but can be improved by implementing additional security controls and policies.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal disclaimers.
Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible content management approach. It uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements and Swiper.js for interactive slideshows. The site is multilingual, supporting French, German, and English via WPML plugin. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, no hosting provider details were found, and no advanced caching or CDN usage was detected in the provided data. The site could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance to improve user experience and technical robustness.
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.
