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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

Cmsbox operates as a small Swiss technology company offering CMS software and related web services including hosting and domain registration. Their business model combines SaaS with custom web design services, targeting SMEs and agencies needing tailored CMS solutions. The company leverages Swiss Made Software certification as a trust signal and maintains active social media channels. Their portfolio includes over 900 websites, indicating steady market traction. The company emphasizes quick turnaround times and user-friendly editing interfaces, positioning themselves as a practical alternative to larger CMS platforms. Growth potential lies in expanding hosting and support services and enhancing compliance features to meet evolving regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate bot abuse, and asynchronous loading of tracking scripts to reduce performance impact. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small technology firm but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Cmsbox CMS platform, utilizing modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. The site is mobile responsive with multiple CSS stylesheets targeting different screen sizes. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and video content optimized for playback. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The technical infrastructure supports the business model well but could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy controls.
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.
