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. 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

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

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for dergartenbau.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 website operates as a niche media outlet focused on the Swiss gardening and landscaping industry. It holds a strong market position as a professional publication with a loyal audience of industry specialists. Its business model includes subscription-based content, advertising, and job listings, providing diversified revenue streams. The presence of detailed job listings with company logos and contact details indicates strong industry partnerships and a well-established network. The site’s content strategy emphasizes relevance and depth, supporting professional development and industry knowledge. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings such as e-magazines and e-book portals. The partnership with related magazines like gaerten-magazin.net enhances its ecosystem. Overall, the business intelligence reflects a stable, credible, and focused media entity within its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of obfuscated email tokens reduces spam risk. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The site does not implement a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure, which could be considered for improved security communication. Overall, the security posture is strong for a media website but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for professional publishing. It integrates several modern technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, and FontAwesome for icons. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts and employs cookie consent management via MindshapeCookieConsent and CleverReach for newsletters. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.

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.
