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

baugewerbe.ch is an established online platform operated by VADIAN.NET AG, serving as a comprehensive directory and marketplace for construction-related companies in Switzerland. The site offers extensive company profiles, job listings, industry news, and seminars, targeting construction professionals and businesses within the Swiss market. The platform positions itself as a key resource for SMEs in the construction sector, facilitating business visibility and networking. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and Owl Carousel, supported by Cloudflare for CDN and security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Insights, enabling moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and benefits from Cloudflare's security features. Security headers are present, and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and dedicated security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and technical foundation with good content quality and user experience. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security policy publication would further strengthen its trustworthiness 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

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

    • 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

  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 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

baugewerbe.ch operates as a specialized online directory and marketplace for the Swiss construction industry, focusing on SMEs. Its business model revolves around providing company profiles, job postings, and industry-related content, generating value through advertising and premium listings. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive database of over 14,000 entries and targeted services such as seminars and news updates. The target customers include construction companies, job seekers, and clients looking for construction services in Switzerland. The presence of testimonials and detailed company information supports trust and engagement. The platform is owned and operated by VADIAN.NET AG, a Swiss company, reinforcing local market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare protection, and appropriate security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a cookie consent banner, which is important for GDPR adherence. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR and ePrivacy Directive compliance.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, FontAwesome for icons, and Owl Carousel for content sliders. It leverages Cloudflare for CDN and security, improving performance and protection. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. However, no CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and enhanced compliance.
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.
