Merkur Druck AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in sustainable printing products, creative media project design, and innovative digital solutions. Positioned as a regional leader in manufacturing and media services, the company targets businesses seeking environmentally responsible and creative media services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and a focus on sustainability. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, integrating modern analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Matomo, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and incident response disclosures. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and absence of consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices to meet modern compliance standards.

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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company operates primarily in the manufacturing and media sectors, offering printing and digital media services with a sustainability focus. Its business model is B2B, serving organizations requiring print and digital media solutions. The website content and structured data confirm a medium-sized enterprise with a stable market position in Switzerland. The absence of privacy policies and incident response information suggests areas for operational improvement. The use of advanced analytics tools and SEO plugins indicates an investment in digital marketing and customer insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain analysis.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable analytics services loaded asynchronously to reduce performance impact. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also presents compliance risks under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to latest secure versions.
Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Matomo. The site uses asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. SEO is supported by Rank Math PRO plugin, indicating attention to search engine visibility. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. The technical stack is modern but requires security hardening and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
