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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

The company holds a strong market position as a technology provider with a diversified portfolio spanning hardware, software, cloud services, and IT solutions. Their ecosystem approach leverages partnerships and platforms to enable channel partners and resellers. The presence of multiple service domains and microsites indicates a strategic focus on digital transformation and customer enablement. Marketing and analytics integrations suggest active customer engagement and data-driven decision-making. The company targets B2B customers in the ITK sector, emphasizing scalability and innovation. Parent company affiliation with ALSO Holding AG adds credibility and resource backing.

Security posture

ALSO Schweiz AG exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and integration of a consent management platform for privacy compliance. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of multifactor authentication links indicate good security hygiene. However, the lack of explicit security headers and a public vulnerability disclosure policy are areas for improvement. Incident response contact information is not clearly provided, which could impact rapid handling of security events. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR requirements and demonstrates a security-aware culture, but could enhance transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve inclusivity and meet regulatory standards.

Notes

The website is built on a stable and modern technology stack featuring jQuery, Bootstrap, and custom Pegasos CMS components. It integrates advanced analytics (Webtrekk, Marketo) and marketing tools with a user consent framework (Usercentrics). Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. The site uses multiple external domains for services and partnerships, reflecting a complex but well-managed infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
