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

Cuk.ch is a French-language media website focused on technology, culture, and leisure topics, operating since 2001. It serves a niche audience of French-speaking technology enthusiasts and general readers interested in cultural content. The site uses WordPress CMS and features a blog-style content publishing model with product reviews and cultural commentary. The technical infrastructure is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Contact is limited to a web form with no direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from improved security and privacy compliance measures.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website holds a niche position in the French-speaking technology and culture media space, leveraging a content publishing business model. It targets enthusiasts and general readers with articles and reviews. The site has a long history dating back to 2001, indicating established presence. There is a related subdomain for products, suggesting some diversification. The absence of direct contact details and privacy policies limits business transparency. No advertising or tracking services are evident, indicating a low commercial footprint. Growth potential may be limited without modernization and enhanced compliance.

Security posture

The website has basic security with HTTPS enabled but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, formal policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with custom themes and JavaScript. It uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with some legacy support for IE9. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic with viewport meta tags and some JavaScript adjustments for small screens. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feed links but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. No analytics or tracking scripts are present in the provided HTML. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
