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

Culligan Suisse operates a professional website focused on water treatment solutions including water softeners, water fountains, and purifiers targeting both private individuals and businesses in Switzerland. The company positions itself as a global leader in water treatment with a long-standing presence since 1979. The website is well designed, mobile optimized, and uses modern web technologies such as WordPress CMS, jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Tag Manager. Cookie consent mechanisms and trust widgets are implemented to enhance user trust and comply with privacy expectations. However, explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security policies are not found in the provided content, which represents a compliance gap. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

8 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 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';…
  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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Culligan Suisse targets the Swiss market with specialized water treatment products and services for households, enterprises, and public entities. Their business model combines product sales with installation and maintenance services. The company leverages a strong brand presence and trust signals such as customer feedback widgets. The website content and structure support clear navigation for different customer segments. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers in the HTML suggests reliance on contact forms for customer engagement. The company benefits from a consistent brand identity and a long operational history, supporting a medium-sized enterprise profile in the water treatment sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security awareness. Cookie consent is managed via a recognized third-party script. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy or incident response contact is published, limiting transparency for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is detected, which is a missed opportunity for responsible vulnerability management. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input validation details are visible. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Ensure all forms have proper security controls such as anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.0 and Bootstrap for responsive design. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS preloads. Mobile optimization is good with responsive images and navigation. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. The site integrates third-party scripts for cookie consent and trust badges. No critical technical issues or vulnerabilities are evident from the provided data, but security header absence and missing policies represent technical debt and compliance risks.
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.
