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

6 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. 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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 · 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

BEGASOFT AG holds a solid market position as a medium-sized Swiss IT service provider with a diversified portfolio spanning cloud services, software development, and AI. Its client base includes public administration, healthcare, finance, and NGOs, indicating a focus on regulated and mission-critical sectors. The company leverages partnerships and certifications to enhance trust and compliance. The business model combines managed services with innovative SaaS and AI offerings, positioning it well for digital transformation trends. The website's success stories and partner references reinforce its reputation and client engagement. Growth potential exists in expanding AI services and SaaS product validation.

Security posture

The website and company demonstrate a good security maturity level, operating from a Tier IV, ISO 27001 certified data center and enforcing HTTPS. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit incident response policies, vulnerability disclosure channels, and security.txt files suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized incident response and enhanced HTTP security configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  2. Implement and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide explicit contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy responsible person.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with jQuery, and Lightbox2 for UI enhancements. Google Fonts are used for typography. Hosting is inferred to be with Swisscom in a high-tier data center, supporting reliability and security. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or static site approach. The technical stack is appropriate for a professional IT services company, though opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement advanced performance optimizations.
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.
