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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 technology sectors, providing specialized solar-powered hosting solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its ecological commitment and local Swiss infrastructure, appealing to privacy-conscious and environmentally aware clients. The business model is service-oriented, offering tailored hosting and cloud solutions. The company maintains an active social media presence and supports innovative projects like SolarStratos, enhancing its brand image. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with multiple product offerings and clear market positioning. Partnerships such as SolarStratos indicate engagement with forward-looking initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of anti-spam plugins, and GDPR-compliant cookie management. Analytics are handled with privacy in mind via Matomo, supplemented by Google Analytics. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. Security headers are not explicitly confirmed and should be audited. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing a modern tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, bxSlider, and Morris.js for UI and visualization. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin, and privacy is supported by Complianz GDPR cookie consent and CleanTalk anti-spam. Hosting infrastructure is Swiss-based and powered by solar energy, aligning with the company’s ecological branding. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity. Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining plugin updates and improving security headers.
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.
