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

Goldbach is a well-established Swiss media and advertising company founded in 1998, offering a broad range of advertising solutions across TV, online, audio, and outdoor channels. The company leverages data-driven approaches and programmatic platforms to deliver targeted advertising campaigns. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive information about their services and client success stories. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt.js) and integrates third-party marketing and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager and Adform. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, though a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

4 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 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 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 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

Goldbach holds a strong market position in the DACH region as a key advertising partner, serving advertisers and agencies with multi-channel media solutions. Their business model centers on media sales, programmatic advertising, and campaign consulting. The company maintains partnerships with programmatic platforms like Splicky and provides measurement services such as Swiss Ad Impact. The website content and structure reflect a mature business with a focus on client success and innovation in advertising technologies. Growth indicators include diverse service offerings and active content updates. The company targets medium to large advertisers seeking integrated media campaigns in Switzerland.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of published incident response contacts or security policies suggests limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media company but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen web security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with server-side rendering, ensuring good SEO and performance. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, contributing to availability and speed. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Adform indicates advanced marketing and tracking capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized and features clear navigation and structured content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical security debt. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media business but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
