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

Computed·By is a Swiss-based technology company specializing in bespoke web and mobile application development for creative professionals, including designers, architects, artists, and cultural institutions. Founded in 2011, the company has established a niche market position by collaborating with notable clients and art directors, delivering innovative digital projects such as online collections, phygital events, and installations involving AI and NFTs. Their business model focuses on providing tailored digital solutions with an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a Swiss ISO 27001 certified provider using renewable energy, reflecting the company's commitment to digital sustainability. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and offers a good user experience, although some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and benefits from a secure hosting environment. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and publicly available privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance and enhanced security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the website and business present a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness with minor gaps in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing incident response contacts to strengthen the security and compliance posture.

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

6 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 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

  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

Computed·By operates in the technology sector with a focus on creative digital projects. Their competitive advantage lies in combining computer science expertise with interaction design and close collaboration with art directors and graphic designers. The company targets a specialized customer segment including public institutions, private companies, and creative professionals. Their revenue streams likely derive from bespoke software development projects and digital event management. The partnership ecosystem includes Swiss Made Software and a trusted Swiss hosting provider. Growth indicators include a stable domain age and a portfolio of reputable clients. Strategic observations suggest that enhancing compliance and security transparency could improve market trust and client confidence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The company benefits from secure hosting with ISO 27001 certification and enforces HTTPS. The use of Matomo analytics with DoNotTrack enabled shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and security readiness. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file limits transparency and incident handling capabilities. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including security contact emails, to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js for UI components and Matomo for analytics, indicating a contemporary tech stack. The site uses server-side static rendering to optimize performance and energy efficiency. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss provider with ISO 27001 certification and green data centers, supporting sustainability goals. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom-built solution. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
