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

Global Switch is a leading operator of world-class data centres with a strong presence across Europe and Asia-Pacific, including Singapore. The company provides carrier-neutral, highly connected infrastructure tailored for enterprises, AI and HPC customers, and network partners. Their business model focuses on delivering scalable, resilient, and flexible data centre solutions in key global digital hubs. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, multimedia content, and multi-language support, indicating a global market focus. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and structured data, offering good performance and accessibility. Security posture is adequate with cookie consent and privacy policies in place, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for this business type and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in the technology infrastructure sector.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention globalswitch.sg, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for globalswitch.sg 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

Global Switch holds a strong market position as one of the original data centre partners with a broad geographic footprint. Their partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA and focus on AI-ready infrastructure highlight competitive advantages in emerging technology sectors. The business model leverages carrier neutrality and ecosystem richness to attract diverse customers including enterprises, network partners, and channel resellers. Growth indicators include ongoing expansions into Malaysia and Thailand and a comprehensive multi-language website supporting global operations. The company’s strategic emphasis on flexibility, connectivity, and sustainability aligns with market demands for high-performance digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms implemented. However, the lack of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, and no security.txt file indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or analytics scripts, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be enhanced to meet best practices and compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration details and ensure strong cipher suites and protocols are used.
  5. Consider adding verified company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries to improve accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Bricks theme and several custom plugins for support and search functionality. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery and Fuse.js for search capabilities. Structured data using JSON-LD schema.org vocabulary is implemented for SEO and rich snippet support. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and focus outlines. Performance is moderate with video content and multiple images, but no major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance analytics integration for better data-driven insights.
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.
