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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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 company holds a leading position in the Swiss market for GS1 standards and services, offering a comprehensive portfolio including barcodes, digital product passes, and category management training. The business model revolves around membership, service provision, and event organization. Partnerships with related service providers and initiatives enhance its ecosystem. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and extensive content relevant to its target audience of industry professionals.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers, uses a reputable consent management platform (Usercentrics), and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance contact information with direct phone numbers and emails for support and security inquiries.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and improve privacy compliance documentation and cookie consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS with Commerce 2 module, leveraging Bootstrap 4.1.1 for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It uses lazy loading for images, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site loads multiple modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP and ScrollMagic for animations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content.
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.
