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

4 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. 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

Energy.ch operates within the Swiss media sector, leveraging its brand to deliver radio and video content across multiple platforms including web and mobile apps. Its business model centers on advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with major ad networks and Ringier Advertising. The company targets general consumers interested in entertainment and local radio content. The website's technical sophistication and compliance with privacy regulations indicate a strong operational maturity. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via contact forms. The brand maintains consistent messaging and visual identity, reinforcing its market position as a trusted media provider.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response information limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The use of third-party advertising and tracking scripts introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by listing data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts to minimize tracking and potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. It integrates multiple advertising and tracking technologies asynchronously to optimize load times. The site uses Google Fonts and preconnect hints to improve rendering speed. Accessibility features appear adequate, with semantic HTML and focus outlines. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Hosting details are not explicit but likely managed by Ringier or Swiss providers. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable media platform.
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.
