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

9 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)

      • 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

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

KW-Software AG operates in the technology sector, focusing on software solutions for churches and related organizations in Switzerland. Their business model revolves around software licensing, support, and IT services. The company leverages partnerships, notably with KiKartei, to strengthen its product offerings. The target customers are churches and non-profit religious organizations, indicating a specialized market segment. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized company with a stable customer base and a clear value proposition. Growth potential lies in expanding IT services and digital transformation offerings. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact points and policy disclosures, supporting credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and secure integration of third-party services like Zendesk. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and integrations to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, and fonts are loaded from Google Fonts for consistent branding. Zendesk integration supports customer service. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and accessibility. The site is mobile-optimized and responsive, ensuring usability across devices. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance metrics further.
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.
