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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Abacus Research AG holds a leading position in the Swiss ERP software market, offering scalable and industry-specific solutions. Their business model relies on software development complemented by a partner network for implementation and support. The company targets a wide range of industries including construction, service, real estate, commerce, and public administration. Their long history since 1985 and membership in Swiss Made Software reinforce their credibility. The website supports their business intelligence with clear product segmentation, partner programs, and AI integration initiatives, indicating ongoing innovation and market adaptation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is transparent and controlled via consent. However, the absence of a published incident response contact or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish an incident response contact or dedicated security page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications to boost trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with integration of Bootstrap 4, jQuery, and various UI libraries like LightSlider and FSLightbox, providing a modern and responsive user interface. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile optimized and includes cookie consent management scripts. Hosting details are not explicit but SSL is well configured. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
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.
