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

Cicor Technologies Ltd. operates as a global provider of full-cycle electronic solutions, serving key sectors including medical technology, industrial, and aerospace & defence. The company offers a broad portfolio of services such as engineering, electronic manufacturing, precision plastics, hybrid circuits, and prototyping. With approximately 4,300 employees across 12 countries, Cicor holds a strong market position, particularly in the European defence sector. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, supporting investor relations and corporate responsibility initiatives. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern technologies including Vimeo for video content and CookieFirst for consent management. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. The security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy, which is notable for a publicly traded company. Overall, Cicor's website presents a trustworthy and professional image with minor areas for improvement in transparency and security communication. The risk level is low, but verification of domain registration details is recommended to enhance 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

4 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 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

    • 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. 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

Cicor is positioned as a significant player in the electronics manufacturing industry, targeting high-value sectors such as medical technology and aerospace & defence. Its business model focuses on B2B full-cycle solutions, combining R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain management. The company’s listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange and recent strategic partnerships and acquisitions indicate growth and market consolidation. The website supports investor engagement and corporate responsibility, signaling mature governance. Cicor’s global footprint with multiple locations across Europe, Asia, and Africa supports diversified operations and resilience. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and communication but lacks visible direct security or vulnerability disclosure channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes key security headers, indicating a mature security posture. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent is managed via a recognized third-party service, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response information, or security contact email limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which is a best practice for responsible security management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Provide a direct security contact email (e.g., security@cicor.com) for vulnerability reporting and incident communication.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible disclosure.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration details to ensure transparency and legitimacy, especially given the public company status.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and consent mechanisms to maintain compliance and security.

The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
