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

The website zermatt.swiss serves as a regional tourism portal promoting vacations and holidays in the Zermatt-Matterhorn area of the Swiss Alps. It targets tourists interested in mountain and alpine experiences, providing information and services related to travel and accommodation. The business model is focused on destination marketing and tourism promotion, positioning itself as a key regional player in hospitality. The website demonstrates a good level of digital maturity, utilizing modern web technologies such as Nuxt.js, Tailwind CSS, and integrating analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Connect, and Cookiebot. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility is basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a Content-Security-Policy header, reflecting sound security practices. However, additional security headers could enhance protection. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is limited, with no explicit privacy or cookie policies found in the provided content, which is an area for improvement. Business credibility is supported by consistent WHOIS data and a professional web presence, though contact information and trust indicators are minimal. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with strengths in technical implementation and business legitimacy but gaps in privacy compliance and security policy transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, and improving accessibility and user trust signals.

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

3 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Zermatt.swiss operates as a regional tourism marketing platform, focusing on the Swiss Alps destination of Zermatt-Matterhorn. Its competitive advantage lies in its official or semi-official status as a destination portal, leveraging partnerships with major travel and review platforms such as TripAdvisor and outdoor activity sites. The business model revolves around promoting tourism services, accommodation, and activities to travelers, likely generating revenue through partnerships and service referrals. The target customer segment includes leisure travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and alpine tourists. Growth indicators include integration with multiple third-party platforms and use of modern web technologies. The partnership ecosystem includes major travel content providers and marketing tools, supporting a robust digital presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The absence of other security headers like Strict-Transport-Security or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Forms and inputs appear standard but lack explicit anti-CSRF or advanced input validation indicators. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed, which could hinder transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is uncertain due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header implementation and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enhance form security by adding anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation.
  4. Disclose incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, combined with Tailwind CSS for styling, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. It leverages multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity), marketing (Google Tag Manager, Facebook Connect), and cookie consent management (Cookiebot). The site uses modulepreload and preconnect hints to optimize resource loading. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA and semantic improvements possible. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
