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

FAKTOR VIER is a small, professional web agency based in Luzern, Switzerland, specializing in WordPress and WooCommerce development for custom websites and online shops. The company positions itself as a local expert with a focus on delivering tailored digital solutions to businesses and individuals seeking e-commerce and website services. The website reflects a good level of digital maturity, leveraging modern technologies such as WordPress, WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, and Font Awesome Pro icons, alongside cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations. The technical infrastructure is sound, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization, although hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of security headers and explicit security policies indicates room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial due to the lack of a published privacy policy and terms of service, which are critical for GDPR adherence. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

4 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"

    • 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • 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

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

Business profile

FAKTOR VIER operates in the technology sector as a web agency focused on WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. Its business model revolves around providing custom web development services, targeting local businesses and individuals in Luzern. The company leverages SEO and cookie consent tools to enhance its digital presence and compliance. While the website content is professional and consistent, the lack of detailed business contact information and compliance documents suggests a small-scale operation with potential growth opportunities. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its specialization in WordPress and WooCommerce, catering to a niche market with tailored services. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed, limiting deeper financial insights.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, allowing users to opt out of analytics and advertising cookies, which supports privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces the defense-in-depth strategy. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure statements indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and CookieYes requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but should enhance documentation and technical controls to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to meet GDPR and legal requirements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting, including dedicated email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce integration, utilizing popular plugins like Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Cookie Law Info alongside CookieYes for cookie consent management. Font Awesome Pro is used for iconography, loaded via CDN. The site preconnects to multiple CDNs and external resources to optimize loading times. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. No hosting provider details are explicitly found in the HTML content. The site uses HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML snippet. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of advanced security headers and compliance documents suggests areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
