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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ETA SA benefits from a strong market position as one of the largest watch movement manufacturers worldwide, leveraging its long history and association with the Swatch Group. Its business model centers on manufacturing and supplying watch movements, supported by R&D and customer services. The company targets watch brands and industry professionals, with growth supported by digital tools like the ETAshop B2B platform. The website's content and navigation clearly communicate its offerings and corporate identity, reinforcing trust and professionalism.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, anonymized IP tracking in analytics, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the HTML source and should be verified server-side. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options explicitly.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with clear data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Analytics for tracking and Akamai Boomerang for performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Akamai, contributing to fast load times and reliable performance. The technical implementation is robust, with no broken elements or errors detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
