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

Accesstech AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in assistive IT solutions for blind and visually impaired individuals. Their website showcases a range of products including mobile and stationary screen readers, scanner reading devices, magnification software, speech output systems, Braille displays, and printers. The company positions itself as a niche provider with a strong focus on accessibility and social inclusion through technology. The website is professionally designed, accessible, and provides clear contact information, reflecting a trustworthy and customer-focused business. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery and accessibility-focused plugins. It demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features such as font size adjustments and contrast toggles. Performance is moderate, and SEO practices are adequately implemented. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance compliance and security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of security headers and incident response information suggests potential areas for strengthening security practices. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, Accesstech AG's website reflects a solid business presence with a focus on assistive technology, good technical implementation, and a generally strong security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security policies would further enhance 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.

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

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 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

    • 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

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

Accesstech AG operates in the assistive technology sector, targeting visually impaired and blind users primarily in Switzerland. Their business model revolves around providing specialized hardware and software solutions tailored to accessibility needs. The company leverages its long-standing expertise and global network to deliver customized solutions. The website indicates a small-sized enterprise with a focused product portfolio and support services. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and clear communication of services. The lack of social media presence or extensive marketing tools suggests a niche market approach relying on direct customer engagement and specialized channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of security and accessibility plugins indicates awareness of best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, potentially impacting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional headers, formal security policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software components.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to provide a standardized channel for security researchers to report vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery and various plugins for accessibility and user experience enhancements. The site uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with some caching and minification evident. Accessibility features such as font size controls and contrast toggles are implemented, improving usability for the target audience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking tools, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and appropriate for the business needs, with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
