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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for frontal.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 positions itself as an experienced, small-sized creative agency in Switzerland with a focus on branding and digital marketing. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting regional and possibly national clients. The presence of awards and membership in a professional network (ASW) enhances their market credibility. The website showcases client references and recent news, indicating active engagement and growth. External links to partner and client domains suggest a healthy partnership ecosystem. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and brand presence. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionalities are present, consistent with a service agency model.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses nonce attributes on scripts to mitigate injection risks. Cookie consent is managed via CookieHub, indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) are detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements.

Notes

The website is built on Contens CMS 5.8.1 and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1, Flickity for sliders, and Masonry for layout. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, and CookieHub manages cookie consent. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with video content and image-heavy sections that may impact load times. The site uses HTTPS with a JavaScript redirect to enforce secure connections. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
