Swiss Visceral Surgeons (SGVC) is a professional medical society dedicated to promoting and securing the field of visceral surgery within Switzerland. The organization provides education, certification, and advocacy services to medical professionals specializing in visceral surgery. Their website reflects a strong national presence with clear membership and educational offerings, including congresses, courses, and fellowships. The target audience is primarily healthcare professionals in Switzerland. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Vue.js, Three.js for visual effects, and Flickity for carousels, hosted likely on a CMS platform (Statamic). The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, explicit security headers and incident response policies are not present, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the domain registration data is consistent with the website's claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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
8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
Network security
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Critical
Critical Service Exposed: MySQL
Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server
What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN
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 Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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.

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.

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.

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 SGVC operates as a specialized healthcare professional society in Switzerland, focusing on visceral surgery. Its business model revolves around membership services, professional education, and advocacy. The website's content and structure emphasize continuing education, certification pathways, and community engagement. The organization leverages partnerships with service providers such as Meister Concept and Adjumed for secretariat and data services. The presence of a LinkedIn profile supports professional networking and outreach. The society appears well-positioned within its niche, with a clear value proposition for medical professionals. Growth indicators include upcoming events like the Swiss Visceral Summit 2026 and active promotion of membership benefits.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be critical for handling security incidents. The use of privacy-focused analytics (Plausible) is a positive indicator. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are introduced.
Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.
Website is fully accessible with no blocking or WAF challenges.
Content is professional, well-structured, and relevant to the medical community.
Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant.
No terms of service or explicit security policies found.
Contact information is complete and clearly presented.
Use of modern web technologies and analytics with privacy focus.
No signs of suspicious or malicious content.
Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Vue.js components, Three.js for WebGL particle effects, and Flickity for interactive carousels. The use of ES modules and modulepreload hints at a modern JavaScript build process. The CMS appears to be Statamic, indicated by consent manager storage keys. Performance is moderate, with preloading of critical CSS and JS assets. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links. The use of Plausible Analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-implemented, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
