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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention invitu.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for invitu.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

invitu.ch positions itself as a niche player in the Swiss event invitation market, offering fast and elegant online invitations. Its business model is service-based, generating revenue likely through subscription or pay-per-use plans starting at CHF 4.90. The target customers include private individuals planning family celebrations, weddings, birthdays, as well as companies organizing meetings, conferences, and public events. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its ease of use and quick invitation creation. The company appears to operate independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships. The integration of marketing and analytics tools indicates an active approach to customer engagement and growth. However, the absence of detailed business registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and several security headers implemented, which protect against common web vulnerabilities. The use of reputable analytics and tracking services is noted, but no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The lack of cookie consent and detailed privacy compliance documentation represents a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  2. Enhance the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance, data processing, and user rights.
  3. Publish terms of service and a formal security policy to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework with jQuery and FontAwesome for UI components and icons. It leverages external fonts via Adobe Typekit and includes modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper for interactive elements. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented through Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Hotjar. The site is mobile responsive and uses semantic HTML5 elements. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could be improved with enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
