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 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

    • 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

The business operates in the media and finance sectors, targeting professionals and the general public interested in Swiss political and economic affairs. Its business model relies on subscription services and advertising revenue, with partnerships including major financial data providers like SIX Group and asset managers such as Vanguard. The company maintains a consistent brand and content quality, positioning itself as a key player in Swiss financial news. The presence of sponsored content and partner articles indicates a diversified revenue stream. The website's integration with multiple social media platforms enhances its reach and engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. The use of a Consent Management Platform ensures compliance with GDPR cookie regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site uses third-party analytics and advertising scripts, which are managed through consent mechanisms to mitigate privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but could benefit from enhanced transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet international standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js), ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, contributing to moderate to good performance. The site uses multiple asynchronous scripts for analytics and consent management, balancing functionality with user privacy. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and appropriate image loading strategies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though performance could be further optimized by reducing script load and enhancing caching strategies.
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.
