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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 association leverages partnerships with regional tourism bodies and Swiss wine promotion entities to strengthen its market presence. Its business model focuses on collaboration, certification, and education to build a cohesive oenotourism network. The website highlights recent news, events, and testimonials, indicating active engagement with its community. The presence of Swisstainable certification and links to regional partners suggests a commitment to sustainable tourism practices. The organization appears to be small but influential within its sector, with a clear focus on regional development and professional support.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration, uses common WordPress security plugins, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, representing compliance gaps. Tracking is implemented via Google Analytics and Tag Manager, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding formal policies, security headers, and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Smart Slider 3, and SiteOrigin Panels. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization considered good. SEO is supported by All in One SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for organization and breadcrumb markup. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the 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.
