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

7 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 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 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

      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

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 operates in the energy and transportation sectors focused on waste management and environmental sustainability. It holds B Corporation certification, underscoring its commitment to social and environmental performance. The business model revolves around providing integrated waste services to municipalities, public and private companies, and individuals. Subsidiaries include Transvoirie, Sogetri, Leman Bio Energie, and SRS, indicating a diversified portfolio within the waste management ecosystem. The website's content and structure support a medium-sized enterprise with a strong Swiss market presence and active social media engagement. The company leverages partnerships such as B Corporation to enhance brand trust and sustainability credentials.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager and Axeptio scripts responsibly for analytics and cookie consent. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.9.1) presents a potential vulnerability risk. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from modern best practices and clearer incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms technology with a front-end stack including jQuery 1.9.1, TweenMax, Fotorama, and Popcorn.js for UI and media handling. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and Axeptio manages cookie consent. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, likely due to legacy frameworks and multiple JavaScript dependencies. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and security by updating libraries and implementing modern web standards.
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.
