54/100

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

The website code-zh.com is currently displaying a minimal placeholder page indicating that the PHP version used is no longer supported. The domain is registered since 2012 and is hosted by Hostpoint AG, the largest Swiss web hosting provider managing over a million domain names. The business focus is on web hosting and domain management services targeted primarily at Swiss customers. The website content is minimal and lacks essential elements such as privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, terms of service, and contact information, which negatively impacts user trust and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. Technically, the site uses outdated PHP, jQuery 3.6.0, and standard web fonts but lacks modern security headers and SEO optimizations. Security posture is weak due to the unsupported PHP version and absence of security best practices. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF or security blocks but requires significant improvements in content, security, and compliance to meet professional standards.

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. 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

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Hostpoint AG operates as a major player in the Swiss web hosting market, providing domain registration and hosting infrastructure services. The domain age and hosting provider align with a mature business model focused on technology services. However, the website itself does not currently reflect the company's full capabilities or professionalism, likely due to maintenance or migration. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or extended service ecosystems from the website content. The lack of contact and policy information limits customer engagement and regulatory compliance. The business model is primarily B2B and B2C web hosting services with a strong local market presence in Switzerland.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak. The displayed message about unsupported PHP version indicates a critical vulnerability that could expose the site to exploits. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected. There is no evidence of secure forms or incident response contact channels. The absence of privacy and cookie policies further indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related data protection regulations. The domain registration is legitimate and consistent, but the technical implementation requires urgent upgrades to mitigate security risks.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade the PHP version to a currently supported release to eliminate critical security vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add clear contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  4. Deploy security headers and conduct a security audit to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website content quality and user experience to reflect the company's market position and professionalism.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses an outdated PHP version which is no longer supported, posing a significant security risk. The front-end includes jQuery 3.6.0 and Open Sans font loaded via base64. The hosting provider is Hostpoint AG, a reputable Swiss hosting company. The site lacks modern CMS indicators and advanced frameworks. Performance and SEO optimizations are minimal or absent. Mobile optimization is basic with some responsive CSS. Accessibility features are limited. No analytics or marketing tools were detected. The site appears to be a placeholder or maintenance page rather than a fully functional website.
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.
