0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Excom Media AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in digital advertising solutions focused on retail, healthcare, and street-level advertising. The company targets businesses within these sectors, providing tailored digital advertising services to enhance visibility and engagement. The website presents a professional design with clear navigation and mobile optimization, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes the use of Google Tag Manager and jQuery 2.1.4, indicating some reliance on established but older technologies. Security posture is basic, with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices to improve trust and compliance.

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

9 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

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

Excom Media AG operates in a niche market segment, focusing on digital advertising within retail, healthcare, and outdoor environments. Their business model is B2B, offering digital advertising services to organizations in these sectors. The company appears to be small-sized and locally focused in Switzerland. The website content is relevant and consistent with their business focus, though it lacks detailed business information such as founding year or certifications. The absence of explicit contact details and trust indicators like certifications or testimonials limits the perceived credibility. The company uses Google Tag Manager for marketing and analytics, indicating an awareness of digital marketing practices. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which are important for transparency and trust. The use of an older version of jQuery (2.1.4) could pose potential security risks if not properly maintained. Forms and data collection practices are minimal and lack visible security features. Overall, the security maturity is basic, with room for significant improvement in policy publication, header implementation, and library updates.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard tech stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, Open Sans font from Google Fonts, and jQuery 2.1.4 for JavaScript functionality. The HTML structure is valid and the site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement to meet modern standards. SEO optimization is minimal, with some meta tags present but lacking comprehensive descriptions and keywords. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced optimization.
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.
