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

5 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

EPOSINT AG holds a strong position in the niche market of technical plastic coatings, serving diverse industrial sectors globally. Their competitive advantage lies in innovation leadership within Switzerland and a comprehensive portfolio of coating technologies and services. The business model focuses on B2B engagements, targeting industries requiring surface protection solutions. Revenue streams likely derive from coating services, consulting, and research & development collaborations. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem through its parent company ADELHELM and affiliated subsidiaries, enhancing geographic reach and technical capabilities. Growth indicators include active research and development, certifications, and a professional digital presence. Strategic observations suggest leveraging group synergies and expanding digital security transparency to maintain market trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including CSRF tokens and hidden CAPTCHA fields. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for improvement. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach, but user tracking is moderate. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by formalizing policies and enhancing technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Make CAPTCHA or alternative anti-bot measures visible and user-friendly on all forms to prevent spam and abuse.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to build trust with security researchers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Modernizr, Masonry.js, Colorbox, and TableSorter for enhanced UI and UX. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and accessibility features, though these could be further improved. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and scripts. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags including Open Graph for social sharing. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security headers and visible anti-bot protections. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports stable and professional business operations.
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.
