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

  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 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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fidentity.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for fidentity.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates a B2B SaaS model focusing on digital identity verification and qualified electronic signatures, addressing the needs of financial institutions and regulated sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in certified compliance, fast and user-friendly solutions, and strong partnerships with technology and hosting providers. Revenue streams likely include licensing and service fees for their modular solutions. The partnership ecosystem includes Swisscom, Cryptomathic, and others, enhancing their technical and operational capabilities. Growth indicators include recent news about joining open banking initiatives and continuous certification renewals. The company emphasizes Swiss-made solutions and end-to-end control, which appeals to security-conscious clients. Strategic observations highlight a focus on compliance, security, and customer convenience as key differentiators.

Security posture

fidentity AG demonstrates a mature security posture with a security-by-design approach integrated into product development. The company undergoes regular penetration testing and operates a bug bounty program to proactively identify vulnerabilities. Their solutions comply with stringent Swiss and European regulations, including FINMA circulars and the eIDAS regulation. However, the website lacks a publicly visible security.txt file and explicit incident response contact details, which could improve transparency and readiness. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the security culture appears strong, supported by certifications and external audits, but could benefit from additional public-facing security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Astro framework version 5.7.10 and styled with TailwindCSS 4.1.5, indicating a modern and performant front-end stack. It uses web fonts (Rubik) and ES modules for JavaScript, ensuring efficient loading and modularity. The site integrates multiple third-party services including Matomo for analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Pipedrive Leadbooster for marketing automation. Hosting appears to be Swiss-based, supported by partnerships with Begasoft and Swisscom, which aligns with the company's emphasis on Swiss-made solutions. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and lazy loading of images. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by adding security headers and ensuring all third-party scripts are regularly updated.
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.
