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

ARO Treuhand GmbH is a Swiss fiduciary services company providing comprehensive accounting, tax, payroll, and business consulting services primarily to small and medium-sized enterprises across Switzerland. The company emphasizes a constructive and transparent partnership with clients, leveraging modern technologies and automated processes to deliver efficient and reliable solutions. Their market position is that of a trusted regional player with a focus on personalized service and professional expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Themify Ultra theme and several professional plugins including Builder Slider Pro, Contact Form 7, and Complianz GDPR for cookie management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and includes modern security features such as HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA v3 on forms. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility basics in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with good compliance and security posture. Strategic improvements could include adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and implementing a security.txt file to further enhance transparency and security readiness.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

ARO Treuhand GmbH operates in the finance sector, focusing on fiduciary and consulting services for Swiss businesses. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized service, technological efficiency, and a broad service portfolio including accounting, tax, payroll, and business consulting. The business model is service-oriented, targeting SMEs with a partnership approach. The company maintains a multilingual website to cater to German, French, and Italian-speaking clients, indicating a regional Swiss market focus. Trust indicators such as membership in TREU-SUISSE and clear contact details support credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent small-sized firm.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of certain security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security maturity. The WHOIS data transparency and domain registration consistency further support legitimacy. The site would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Themify Ultra theme and several well-maintained plugins. It employs jQuery 3.6.0 and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site uses Builder Slider Pro for interactive content and Complianz GDPR plugin for cookie management, indicating attention to compliance. Performance is moderate with some asynchronous script loading and font preloading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile menu triggers. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual support via WPML. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking, representing a potential risk area.
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.
