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

Because Production Services is a Swiss-based company specializing in comprehensive production services including scouting, casting, equipment rental, location management, crew hiring, permits, and logistical support for film and commercial shoots. Founded in 2013 by experienced line producers, the company targets brands and agencies globally seeking professional production support in Switzerland. Their market position is that of a trusted local partner with a broad network and expertise in various production scales. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using a professional theme and SEO plugin, hosted by Infomaniak Network SA. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices but basic accessibility features. The technical infrastructure is modern but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. There are no published privacy or cookie policies, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are gaps in compliance and security transparency. No forms are present on the homepage except a mailto link, reducing attack surface but also limiting data collection transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a solid business foundation but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance measures to improve its risk posture and user trust.

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

8 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 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';…

  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

Because Production Services operates in the media production sector, providing end-to-end production support services in Switzerland. Their competitive advantage lies in their local expertise, experienced founders, and extensive network enabling them to handle projects of varying sizes from interviews to feature films. Revenue streams likely come from service fees for production management, crew hiring, equipment rental, and payroll services. The target customers are international brands and agencies requiring Swiss production facilitation. The company maintains a presence on multiple social media platforms, enhancing brand visibility and client engagement. Growth indicators include a domain age of over 10 years and a professional online presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital marketing and improve compliance to attract larger clients.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The absence of vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts reduces transparency and preparedness. The limited data collection via mailto links reduces risk but also limits user data protection mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small service website but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Semplice theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a focus on SEO and content management. The hosting provider is Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable Swiss hosting company. The site uses jQuery and MediaElement.js for media handling. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some modern security configurations. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, which may limit marketing insights but improves privacy. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could expose the site to DNS attacks and clickjacking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security hardening and enhanced accessibility.
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.
