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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Liip operates in the competitive Swiss digital agency market, leveraging its multi-location presence and certified B Corporation status to differentiate itself through sustainability and social responsibility. Its business model focuses on delivering custom digital solutions including strategy, content, design, development, and performance optimization. The company targets businesses and organizations requiring digital transformation and innovative web/mobile applications. The presence of awards and client logos indicates strong market recognition and client trust. Liip's use of modern technologies and active content marketing (blog, newsletter) supports ongoing growth and client engagement. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent operation with a focused service portfolio.

Security posture

Liip's website security posture is solid, with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of Sentry for error tracking and Piwik PRO for analytics indicates attention to operational security and privacy. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR, and no vulnerable or outdated libraries are detected. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and absence of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure page represent areas for enhancement. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact information are not publicly available, which could be improved to meet best practices and regulatory expectations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized documentation and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and maintain a publicly accessible security policy and vulnerability disclosure program (e.g., security.txt) to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security incident response team to comply with GDPR and build trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize tracking footprint.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security practices via website content or blog posts to reinforce the company’s commitment to data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Alpine.js for interactivity, Sentry for error monitoring, and Piwik PRO for analytics, indicating a mature and well-maintained technical stack. The use of JSON-LD structured data improves SEO and content discoverability. The site is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness, with preloaded fonts and efficient image handling. The presence of multiple language versions and accessibility features demonstrates attention to user experience. No technical debt or outdated components are evident from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to further improve security headers and formalize technical documentation related to security and privacy.
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.
