0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Villars-Animation is a local socio-cultural animation service operating under the commune of Villars-sur-Glâne, Switzerland. It focuses on providing activities and community support primarily for youth aged 6 to 25, as well as families, elderly, and migrants. The organization offers a variety of creative, cultural, and sports activities across multiple centers and locations. The website serves as an informational portal for these services and upcoming events. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with a moderate technology stack including jQuery 1.12 and Matomo analytics. While the site is functional and provides good content quality and navigation, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could pose security risks. The site is accessible via HTTPS, but no explicit security policies or privacy notices are present. From a security perspective, the site shows moderate maturity with no visible critical vulnerabilities but lacks important compliance elements such as privacy and cookie policies, GDPR indicators, and incident response contacts. The use of Matomo analytics without a visible cookie consent mechanism suggests potential privacy compliance gaps. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the content is safe for general audiences. Overall, the website is a trustworthy local community service platform but would benefit from enhanced security practices, privacy compliance improvements, and clearer contact information to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

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 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

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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

Villars-Animation occupies a niche as a community-focused non-profit organization delivering socio-cultural animation services in Villars-sur-Glâne. Its competitive advantage lies in its local government affiliation and focus on youth and intercultural community engagement. The business model is service-oriented, funded likely through municipal or public sources, targeting youth, families, and vulnerable groups. The website supports community outreach and event promotion but lacks monetization or commercial features. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the presence of multiple centers and diverse activities suggests stable operations. Partnerships include local government and the web development agency Oxima. Strategic observations include the need to modernize digital infrastructure and enhance compliance to maintain community trust and meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate but with notable gaps. HTTPS is enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No visible forms on the homepage reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement features. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance risks under GDPR. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not provided, which could delay response to security incidents. Overall, the site is functional but requires improvements in security best practices and compliance to reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and general inquiries.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism aligned with privacy regulations to enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, with jQuery 1.12 and several JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements such as Masonry layout and ImagesLoaded. Matomo analytics is used for tracking, hosted on a cloud service. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level and has a moderate performance profile. SEO and accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack shows some technical debt due to outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers. Hosting details are not explicit, but analytics hosting is via Matomo Cloud. Opportunities exist to modernize the CMS, update dependencies, and improve security configurations to enhance performance and reduce risks.
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.
