The company offers a wide range of custom-made stairlift solutions for both straight and curved staircases, supported by personalized consultation and installation services through a network of certified partners. With a history spanning over 130 years and a global footprint, Handicare holds a strong market position supported by ISO certifications and a commitment to quality and customer service. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar, integrated via Google Tag Manager.

The website design is professional and consistent, providing a positive user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR.

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 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 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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Handicare Treppenlifte Schweiz operates in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, focusing on mobility solutions for the elderly and disabled. Their business model centers on manufacturing custom stairlifts and delivering them through certified partners who provide personalized consultations and installations. The company benefits from a strong international brand presence and a large installed base worldwide, which supports its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include product sales, installation fees, maintenance contracts, and warranty services. The target customer segment is primarily elderly individuals and those with mobility challenges in Switzerland. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including its parent company Handicare Group and regional partners in North America. Strategic observations include a focus on quality certifications, customer service, and digital presence to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of modern analytics tools is balanced with user privacy controls. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for enhancement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could impact transparency and readiness perception. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, limiting external security collaboration. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they comply with privacy and security standards.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training for technical staff to maintain a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely provided by Statichs, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and tracking technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and ClickCease. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading speed. The technical implementation includes client-side form validation and GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site demonstrates technical maturity but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and performance tuning.
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.
