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

3 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 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. 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 targets SMEs in Switzerland, offering managed IT services with a fixed pricing model that covers a broad spectrum of IT needs. Their market positioning as an external IT department provides a competitive advantage by offering tailored IT management without the overhead of an internal team. The website showcases client references and partner links, enhancing credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from subscription-based managed IT packages. The use of modern web technologies and analytics tools indicates a digitally mature organization. However, the absence of detailed privacy and security policies suggests room for strengthening compliance and transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes notable Swiss companies, indicating established business relationships.

Security posture

codin GmbH maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the lack of publicly available incident response procedures, vulnerability disclosure policies, and data protection officer contact details indicates gaps in security governance and compliance documentation. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks a detailed privacy policy. The website's security practices are suitable for its business scope but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security policies to build further trust and meet regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user and service provider obligations.
  3. Implement and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy.
  4. Provide contact information for a data protection officer or privacy contact.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and scalability. It uses Font Awesome for icons and integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Google Tag Manager and Vercel Analytics are employed for tracking and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. The infrastructure supports a professional and responsive user experience, though adding structured data like JSON-LD for business info could improve SEO further. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and aligned with current web standards.
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.
