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

EKT AG operates the EKT Datacenter, a regional datacenter service provider located in Eastern Switzerland, offering colocation, rack space, and bundled IT infrastructure solutions primarily targeting SMEs and organizations in the Thurgau and surrounding regions. The company emphasizes security, reliability, and sustainability, supported by certifications such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Their datacenter is carrier-neutral with direct connections to major hyperscalers, positioning them competitively in the regional market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern but somewhat dated technology stack including Bootstrap and jQuery 1.12.4. The site is mobile-optimized, SEO-friendly, and integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and social sharing plugins. Performance is moderate with good navigation and content quality. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and displays trust signals through certifications and biometric access mentions. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of visible security headers present minor risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy, though no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. Overall, the website and business present a trustworthy and professional image with a solid security posture appropriate for their sector. Strategic improvements in updating libraries, enhancing security headers, and publishing incident response policies would further strengthen their security and compliance stance.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

EKT AG's datacenter business is positioned as a regional essential service provider in the energy and IT infrastructure sector, focusing on SMEs and organizations requiring secure and reliable colocation services. Their competitive advantages include carrier-neutral connectivity, direct hyperscaler links, and comprehensive bundled offerings with financial planning certainty. The business model revolves around providing physical rack space, power, and network connectivity with personal customer support. Growth indicators include recent website updates and active social media presence. Partnerships appear limited to social platforms, with no explicit third-party service providers beyond standard analytics and marketing tools. The company maintains a professional brand with consistent messaging and certifications that enhance market credibility.

Security posture

The security maturity of EKT AG's datacenter website is moderate to good. The presence of ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications indicates a formalized security management system. HTTPS is enforced, and biometric access control is highlighted for physical security. However, the website uses an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4), which may expose it to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) are detected, and there is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which are important for transparency and rapid response. Privacy compliance is well implemented with cookie consent and a privacy policy aligned with GDPR. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Update the jQuery library to the latest secure version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.7 using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery 1.12.4 for JavaScript functionality. It integrates several plugins including Ninja Forms for data collection, WP ULike for user engagement, Sassy Social Share for social media integration, and Cookie Notice for GDPR compliance. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with dedicated CSS for tablets and mobiles. Performance is moderate, with some opportunity to modernize the tech stack by updating outdated libraries and optimizing scripts. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. SEO is well addressed with Yoast SEO plugin metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
