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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

  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
  • 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

The company positions itself as a niche publisher and retailer in Switzerland, focusing on education and religious content. Their business model revolves around direct online sales of books and music, catering primarily to educators, religious communities, and families. The presence of detailed contact information and policies indicates a transparent operation. The lack of social media presence or extensive marketing tools suggests a focused, possibly small-scale operation. The company benefits from a consistent brand and clear navigation, supporting customer trust and retention.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, no advanced security headers or incident response contacts are present, which could be a gap in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits marketing insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate with recommendations to enhance header policies and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and mitigate risks.
  4. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve website reach and compliance.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a custom or specialized CMS (Mirusys CoreShop) with modern front-end technologies including JavaScript and CSS. It uses Splide.js for carousel sliders and custom web fonts for branding consistency. The site is mobile responsive with clear navigation and search functionality. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. However, the lack of structured data and SEO meta tags suggests opportunities for improvement in search engine visibility and semantic markup.
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.
