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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

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

EasyGov operates as a government digital service platform targeting Swiss companies and entrepreneurs, providing essential administrative services that facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Its market position is strong as the official Swiss government portal for business administration, supported by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The platform's business model focuses on digital transformation of public services, improving efficiency and user experience. Key revenue streams are likely government-funded, with no commercial advertising detected. The target customer segment includes startups, SMEs, and established companies in Switzerland. Partnerships with cantonal authorities and other government entities enhance service delivery. The platform's extensive service offerings and integration with official registers and authorities indicate a mature ecosystem with strategic importance in the Swiss digital government landscape.

Security posture

The security maturity of EasyGov is good, with HTTPS enforced site-wide and use of qualified electronic signatures for sensitive transactions. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No security.txt or explicit incident response contact information was found, which could enhance transparency and vulnerability management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The platform uses trusted third-party services like CookieYes for consent management and privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds, reducing tracking risks. Overall, the security posture supports the platform's role as a government service but could be strengthened with additional security best practices and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing explicit security policies and contact channels for security incidents.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information for support and data protection officers to improve user trust and compliance.

Notes

EasyGov is built on a modern Angular 19.2.6 framework with modular JavaScript and CSS using Bootstrap variables for styling. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for accessibility and SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Embedded YouTube videos use the privacy-enhanced nocookie domain. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles asynchronously, suggesting a modular and performant architecture. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected from the HTML. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical stack reflects a mature, government-grade web application with modern frontend technologies and privacy-conscious integrations.
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.
