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

Grant Thornton Switzerland / Liechtenstein is a well-established professional services firm providing audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services primarily to businesses in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The firm operates as a member of the global Grant Thornton International network, positioning itself as a leading mid-tier player in the finance sector within its geographic market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with international standards, targeting corporate clients seeking high-quality financial and advisory services. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and marketing technologies such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Optimizely, and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility features, although some technical details like CMS and hosting provider are not explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers. Privacy compliance is robust with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and active consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security maturity. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and security posture further.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Grant Thornton Switzerland / Liechtenstein holds a strong market position as a member firm of Grant Thornton International, focusing on finance-related professional services. Its business model revolves around providing audit, tax, and advisory services to corporate clients in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The firm benefits from the global network's brand recognition and resources, targeting medium to large enterprises and possibly multinational clients. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on professionalism and client engagement, with clear contact channels and multilingual support. No direct revenue streams or partnership domains beyond the Grant Thornton network are explicitly identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers. Privacy and cookie policies comply with GDPR requirements, supported by a consent management platform (OneTrust). The use of Microsoft Application Insights and Optimizely indicates monitoring and experimentation capabilities. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may reduce confidence among security-conscious clients. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by adding explicit security governance documentation and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Optimizely for A/B testing, OneTrust for cookie consent, and Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter metadata for SEO and social media integration. Fonts and assets are preloaded for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive and uses CSS animations for enhanced user experience. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, but the presence of Microsoft Application Insights suggests Azure hosting or integration. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed 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.
