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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ePost operates in the telecommunications sector with a focus on digital communication and hybrid mail services. Its business model centers on providing a secure, omni-channel communication platform for businesses to manage their correspondence digitally and physically. The company serves a broad customer base including SMEs, large volume senders, and software providers integrating via APIs. The platform's integration with ERP and billing systems suggests diversified revenue streams and strong B2B partnerships. The presence of extensive marketing and analytics tools indicates active customer engagement and growth strategies. The company emphasizes compliance with Swiss regulations such as GeBüV for archiving and data protection standards, enhancing its competitive advantage in the Swiss market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. The use of encrypted communication and data protection is highlighted in the service descriptions, emphasizing end-to-end encryption and GDPR-aligned practices. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party tracking and analytics tools requires careful management of user consent and data privacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from all pages.
  2. Implement and expose HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security policy page including incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  4. Review and optimize third-party tracking to ensure full GDPR compliance and user consent.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing jQuery 1.11.2 and a suite of modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Hotjar. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though the use of an older jQuery version may present minor technical debt. Hosting appears to be managed by HubSpot, providing reliable infrastructure. The site lacks some advanced security headers and formal security documentation, which are recommended for further technical maturity.
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.
