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. 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 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
  • 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

Ergon Informatik AG is positioned as a leading Swiss IT service provider with a diversified portfolio spanning consulting, software engineering, security, cloud computing, and AI. Their competitive advantage lies in combining deep technological expertise with user-centric design and security focus. Revenue streams likely derive from long-term client engagements, custom software projects, and standard software products. The target customers are medium to large enterprises and public sector organizations seeking digital transformation and secure IT solutions. The company demonstrates growth through expanded client base and service innovation, supported by a strong brand and client testimonials. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and industry events, reinforcing market presence and thought leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and integration of a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contact limits transparency and may affect stakeholder trust. The company should consider formalizing and publishing these policies to demonstrate commitment to security governance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics is managed with consent, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced communication and formal documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies, likely Vue.js, with CSS and JavaScript frameworks such as Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Usercentrics for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with responsive design and fast loading times. The technical implementation includes proper meta tags for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph and Twitter cards.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with room for further enhancements in security documentation and accessibility.
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.
