0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

METANET is a well-established Swiss hosting and cloud services provider with over 25 years of experience, serving more than 60,000 customers. The company specializes in web hosting, managed WordPress cloud, VPS, dedicated servers, domain registration, and business email services, all hosted within Swiss data centers to ensure compliance with strict local data protection laws. Their market position is strong within Switzerland, focusing on both business and private customers with a comprehensive portfolio of IT infrastructure solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, SVG icons, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Consentmanager.net for analytics and cookie consent management. The site is responsive, fast-loading, and optimized for mobile devices, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted as an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or suspicious domain registration patterns. The company demonstrates strong business credibility and compliance with GDPR through clear privacy and cookie policies. Strategic recommendations include implementing additional security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing explicit incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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

2 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Business context

Business profile

METANET operates as a focused Swiss hosting provider with a business model centered on delivering reliable, secure, and locally compliant hosting and cloud services. Their competitive advantages include local data centers, compliance with Swiss data protection laws, personalized support, and a broad service portfolio tailored to SMEs and private customers. Revenue streams likely derive from hosting packages, domain registrations, managed server solutions, and cloud services. The company targets Swiss businesses and individuals seeking trustworthy and performant hosting solutions. Growth indicators include a large customer base and a diversified product offering. The partnership ecosystem includes consent management providers and analytics services, supporting marketing and compliance. Operationally, METANET emphasizes quality, security, and customer service as strategic pillars.

Security posture

METANET exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and hosting in certified Swiss data centers with high physical security standards. The website does not expose sensitive information and uses secure external scripts. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a compliance gap. No published incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which could limit rapid response to security events. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears strong but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to improve browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website to enhance trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.
  5. Enhance user awareness by detailing data retention policies and security practices in privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including JavaScript, SVG graphics, and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Consentmanager.net for analytics and cookie management. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for FAQs enhancing search visibility. Performance appears fast with efficient resource loading and caching strategies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed but the domain and content indicate Swiss-based infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and incident response mechanisms are noted as areas for improvement.
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.
