Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, targeting businesses seeking comprehensive marketing solutions. Technically, the site uses modern analytics and consent management tools, with Pimcore as the CMS platform.

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. 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 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

  4. Network security

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

    • 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

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

DACHCOM operates in the media sector with a service provider business model focusing on marketing and communication. Their market position is strong in Switzerland as a member of Leading Swiss Agencies, with multiple offices and subsidiaries in neighboring countries. The company targets regional, national, and international clients, offering tailored marketing strategies and digital solutions. Their partnership ecosystem includes major technology and certification bodies, enhancing credibility and market reach. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with ongoing content updates and client case studies, signaling growth and active engagement in the marketing industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented via CookieFirst. Analytics are handled through Matomo, which can be self-hosted, enhancing privacy control. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data absence is a concern but may be due to privacy or registry issues rather than malicious intent. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, suggesting room for improvement in security transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Review WHOIS registration details to ensure accurate and consistent domain registration information is publicly available.
  5. Continue maintaining and updating privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Pimcore CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for analytics and consent management. It uses Matomo for analytics, providing privacy-friendly tracking, and Google Tag Manager for tag management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate with efficient image usage and lazy loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to enhance security headers and incident response mechanisms to reduce technical 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.
