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

Geschwindigkeit.CH is a specialized online service providing free internet speed testing primarily targeting Swiss and German-speaking internet users. The website offers key services such as download, upload, and ping tests, supported by advertising revenue mainly through Google Adsense. The site maintains a consistent brand presence and provides localized content with links to partner sites in other countries. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS3, and HTTPS, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic but includes a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, with contact facilitated via a dedicated contact page.

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 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business context

Business profile

The website operates in the technology sector focusing on internet performance measurement. It holds a niche market position serving Swiss users with localized content and partners with other regional speed test sites. The business model relies on free service provision monetized through advertising. Hosting is provided by reputable providers such as EDIS Global and BlueVPS. The site shows moderate digital maturity with room for improvement in security and privacy transparency. The absence of direct contact details and security policies suggests a small-scale operation with limited business disclosures.

Security posture

The security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program, possibly via a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5, and integrates Google Adsense for monetization. Hosting is distributed among multiple providers for test servers, indicating a scalable infrastructure for speed testing. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern fonts with preloading for performance. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The site lacks advanced SEO structured data beyond Open Graph tags and does not use JSON-LD schema for business or organization data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but basic, suitable for its niche purpose.
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.
