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

Kurztusch Gipsdesign AG is a small Swiss company specializing in plastering, drywall, stucco, facades, monument preservation, and decorative plastering services. The company emphasizes craftsmanship and quality with over 25 years of experience, targeting clients primarily in the Aargau region. Their website is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses a range of JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and content relevant to their business domain. However, the WHOIS data for the domain www.gipsdesign.com is missing, which raises questions about domain registration legitimacy despite the active and professional website presence. The company provides clear contact information including a Swiss phone number and uses email obfuscation to protect against scraping. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance in mind, including a consent mechanism.

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

8 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 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';…

  3. 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention gipsdesign.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for gipsdesign.com 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 in the construction finishing sector, focusing on plastering and related services. Their market position is that of a local specialist with a strong emphasis on quality and detail. The business model is service-oriented, targeting construction projects and property owners. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting trustworthiness. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not directly contradict the business claims. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The company appears to maintain a modest digital footprint with limited marketing or advertising tools beyond basic analytics and cookie consent.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical link and external scripts loaded over HTTPS) and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and the use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is publicly available. The site does not expose sensitive data or forms that collect personal information, reducing immediate risk. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide and that SSL/TLS configuration follows best practices.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Improve website accessibility features and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature open-source content management system. It uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.11.1, Owl Carousel, Selectize.js, iCheck, Galleria, and PrettyPhoto for UI and media presentation. The cookie consent is managed by tarteaucitron.js, a GDPR-compliant tool. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and scripts with cache-busting query parameters indicating active maintenance. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from modernization of the tech stack. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO is supported by meta tags and canonical links. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the content provided.
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.
