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

edition bücherlese GmbH is a Swiss publishing house based in Luzern specializing in belletristic works by Swiss authors. The company targets German-speaking literary audiences interested in contemporary Swiss literature. Their business model revolves around publishing, promoting, and selling literary works, supported by events and readings. The website reflects a niche market position with a professional and consistent brand presence. Technically, the site is built on Worldsoft CMS, using jQuery, Bootstrap, and Usercentrics for cookie consent, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is acceptable with HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business, supporting legitimacy. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult content. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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';…

  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

  3. 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 operates as a small Swiss literary publisher with a focused catalog of belletristic and lyrical works. Their revenue streams likely include book sales (both online and offline), event hosting, and possibly partnerships with bookshops and cultural organizations. The website's integration with social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube supports community engagement and marketing efforts. The presence of a newsletter and detailed author pages indicates a customer-centric approach. The partnership with SWIPS suggests involvement in Swiss publishing networks. No evidence of large-scale enterprise operations or subsidiaries was found.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics, which is a positive indicator of privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. JavaScript libraries used are somewhat outdated (e.g., jQuery 1.12.4), which could pose potential vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to their latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Worldsoft CMS, leveraging jQuery 1.12.4 and Bootstrap 3.2.0 for frontend functionality and layout. Usercentrics is integrated for cookie consent management, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. The use of Revolution Slider adds dynamic visual content. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources from both the primary domain and trusted external domains related to Worldsoft CMS and Usercentrics. Performance is moderate with some potential for optimization, especially in updating legacy libraries and optimizing slider assets. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by Bootstrap and responsive CSS. SEO is addressed with meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML.
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.
