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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

BERTA KOMM operates in the niche of strategic communication and public affairs within Switzerland, targeting corporate and organizational clients who require expert guidance in political processes and public campaigns. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering end-to-end communication solutions from strategy to execution. The company leverages a medium-sized workforce and maintains a consistent brand image across digital channels. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and analytics providers, but no direct business partners or subsidiaries were identified. The company appears to be newly founded in 2025, aligning with domain registration data. Growth potential is indicated by comprehensive service offerings and a professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent spam, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be a gap in security culture and readiness. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced headers and transparency in security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance regarding user tracking and cookies.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clear user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with up-to-date core and plugins, including Yoast SEO for search optimization and WPML for multilingual support. It uses Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, and Umami Analytics for tracking and performance insights. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing images and scripts. The technical stack is well-chosen for the business needs, but some technical debt may exist in missing security headers and cookie consent implementation. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence suitable for a medium-sized consultancy.
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.
