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

David l’instant chocolat SA is a Swiss artisanal chocolatier operating multiple retail shops and an online store, specializing in handcrafted chocolates and seasonal products. The company targets chocolate enthusiasts and gift buyers primarily within Switzerland. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear product and shop information, supporting a positive user experience and strong brand presence. Technically, the site uses Umbraco CMS with jQuery and Owl Carousel, integrates Google Analytics for tracking, and includes third-party widgets for enhanced marketing. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which impacts privacy compliance. WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the business registration in Switzerland. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche, though improvements in privacy compliance and security headers are recommended.

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.

Priority findings

6 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

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

The company holds a niche market position as a premium Swiss chocolatier with a focus on quality and artisanal craftsmanship. Its business model combines physical retail locations with e-commerce sales, targeting local and international customers seeking luxury chocolate products. The presence of multiple shops in key Swiss cities and participation in recognized chocolate competitions (e.g., World Chocolate Masters) enhance its credibility and market reach. The website supports seasonal marketing campaigns and product diversification, indicating a dynamic approach to customer engagement. Partnerships with digital agencies like Nanoxi suggest investment in professional digital presence. The absence of phone contact may indicate a preference for email and online communication channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. 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 expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and incomplete GDPR compliance indicators suggest privacy compliance gaps. No suspicious scripts or outdated libraries were detected, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with site accessibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive cookie consent and cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for improved user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Umbraco CMS, leveraging jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site loads moderate resources and is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts. Use of Elfsight widgets adds social proof and marketing functionality. The HTML is valid and well-structured, though some SEO metadata like description and keywords are minimal or empty. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. The site lacks advanced frameworks but maintains a stable and functional technical infrastructure suitable for a small retail business.
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.
