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

The website www.cupra-versicherung.ch is a professionally designed platform offering specialized car insurance products for CUPRA vehicles in Switzerland. It is operated by Volkswagen Financial Services Schweiz AG, a reputable entity within the Volkswagen Group, and leverages partnerships with Allianz for insurance services. The site targets CUPRA vehicle owners seeking tailored insurance solutions, providing clear segmentation for new and used cars, premium packages, and customer support channels. The content is well-structured, relevant, and consistent with the brand identity. Technically, the site uses the Umbraco CMS platform with modern JavaScript libraries such as Google Tag Manager and Swiper.js for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized with lazy loading images and responsive design. However, some SEO and accessibility features could be improved. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced and nonce attributes on scripts, but lacks some security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. From a security and compliance perspective, the site demonstrates good practices with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities detected. The privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, hosted on the parent company’s domain. Contact information is clearly provided, including a validated contact form. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could be areas for enhancement. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy consent, and transparency on security policies would further enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL 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
    • 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
    • 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

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

Volkswagen Financial Services Schweiz AG positions itself as a niche insurance provider focused on the CUPRA brand, leveraging its affiliation with Volkswagen Group and Allianz. The business model centers on offering tailored auto insurance products with premium service features such as reduced deductibles, cyber protection, and unlimited parking damage coverage. The target market is CUPRA vehicle owners in Switzerland, a specialized segment within the automotive insurance industry. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including official CUPRA dealers and Allianz insurance services, enhancing its competitive advantage. The website’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a clear focus on customer service and product differentiation. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and enhancing service offerings through technology integration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Use of nonce attributes in scripts indicates attention to script injection prevention. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack scenarios. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The site’s forms implement validation but do not explicitly mention anti-CSRF tokens or advanced input sanitization beyond standard HTML5 validation. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers, explicit security disclosures, and a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. Lazy loading of images via lazysizes improves performance and user experience. The site is mobile responsive and uses semantic HTML elements. However, SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta descriptions and no visible structured data beyond basic JSON-LD for organization and breadcrumbs. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts but could benefit from further optimization. The absence of advanced accessibility features suggests room for improvement in compliance with WCAG standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security best practices.
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.
