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

EASY-CERT services AG operates a professional website providing direct, fast, and secure information on certification and label status for business partners. The company targets businesses and operators requiring transparency and clarity in certification processes, offering key services such as certificate and label status lookups and a customer portal for data management. The website is positioned as a niche service provider in the certification and label verification market, primarily serving the Swiss and Austrian regions. Technically, the website employs legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.0 and jQuery UI 1.10.4, alongside Shadowbox for media display and Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility features and modern frameworks. SEO and meta tags are basic but sufficient for the site's scope. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, indicating potential issues with domain registration legitimacy or expiry, which poses a risk to business continuity and trust. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and domain legitimacy verification to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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. 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 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

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

EASY-CERT services AG holds a specialized market position providing certification and label status information primarily in Switzerland and Austria. The business model revolves around offering searchable databases of certificates and operators, supported by a customer portal for registered users. The company leverages partnerships with recognized certification bodies such as Austria Bio Garantie and bio.inspecta, enhancing its credibility. Revenue streams likely include subscription or service fees for premium search access and data services. The target customers are businesses requiring certification verification, including agricultural operators and product suppliers. Growth indicators include multilingual support and integration with partner networks. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple certification bodies and industry partners, which supports strategic market positioning.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The use of HTTPS is a positive baseline; however, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The website uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which may expose it to known vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, indicating potential non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML. Overall, the security posture requires enhancement to meet modern compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve web security.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and renew domain registration to resolve WHOIS data absence and ensure domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure relies on older JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.11.0 and jQuery UI 1.10.4) and Shadowbox for UI elements, which may introduce technical debt and security risks. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing purposes. The site uses multiple CSS stylesheets and custom scripts for form handling and UI enhancements. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO is supported by meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. No CMS or hosting provider information is detectable from the HTML content. Overall, the technical stack is functional but dated, suggesting opportunities for modernization and improved security.
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.
