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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

VolonTerra operates as a small-sized non-profit entity within Switzerland, targeting youth and volunteer groups interested in environmental and societal projects. Its business model revolves around community engagement and volunteer coordination, leveraging partnerships like SAJV to enhance reach and credibility. The website's content and calls to action indicate a focus on grassroots participation and local leadership development. The absence of commercial elements and advertising suggests a pure non-profit orientation. The partnership ecosystem and social media presence support community building and outreach efforts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers such as X-UA-Compatible. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts analyzed. However, there is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure, which are recommended best practices for transparency and preparedness. Forms present are limited and appear secure, with no exposed sensitive data or signs of injection vulnerabilities. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service page outlining user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet broader compliance and usability standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the REDAXO CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.6.3, Swiper.js for sliders, and Modernizr for feature detection. Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and uses optimized images served via a CDN (ik.imagekit.io). Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy third-party trackers. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
