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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

  3. 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';…

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

Baublatt operates in the media sector with a focus on construction and real estate industries in Switzerland. Its business model includes subscription-based content, advertising revenue, and industry reports. The platform targets architects, engineers, contractors, and municipal authorities, providing them with relevant news, project tenders, and company profiles. The company benefits from a network of related domains and partnerships, including job platforms and Swiss Arc digital services. The parent company, Infopro Digital Schweiz GmbH, lends credibility and operational support. The platform's market position is strong regionally, with consistent branding and trust signals such as professional content and social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens in forms, ensuring secure data submission. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, some security best practices could be improved by adding explicit HTTP security headers like X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy. No public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found, which could enhance transparency and incident response readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against clickjacking and referrer leakage.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising technologies to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Vue.js components for notifications, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. Google Tag Manager and Parsely are used for analytics and user tracking, while Google Publisher Tags and AppNexus handle advertising delivery. The site is mobile optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page speed. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media platform 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.
