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

9 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

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention dabplus.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for dabplus.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The platform serves as an essential information hub for the Swiss digital radio market, supporting the nationwide UKW shutdown and DAB+ adoption. Its business model centers on providing authoritative content, certification support for garages, and user assistance. The site leverages partnerships such as with dabsy.ch for extended services. Its audience includes consumers, automotive industry players, and media professionals, indicating a broad reach within the media and telecommunications sectors. The presence of tutorials and FAQs suggests a focus on customer education and engagement. The site’s consistent updates and structured data usage indicate a mature digital presence with strong SEO and content marketing strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie management. The use of reputable plugins and third-party services is balanced with privacy considerations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and data protection officer contact details to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for a public informational website.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Add incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR transparency.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential security risks.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Adobe DTM. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured JSON-LD data. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
