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.

  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 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';…

  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

  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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The company operates a niche retail business in the musical instruments sector, focusing on wind instruments and related services. Their business model combines direct sales, rentals with credit towards purchase, and repair services, creating multiple revenue streams. The target audience includes amateur and professional musicians, schools, and music groups in Switzerland. The company benefits from a long-standing local presence and a reputation for quality and service. Their online presence is supported by social media channels and an e-commerce platform, indicating digital maturity. Partnerships with local service providers like SI-CUBE for website hosting and development are evident. Growth potential lies in expanding online sales and enhancing digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be a gap in compliance and readiness. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate privacy considerations. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing vulnerability reporting channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to tracking and analytics.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary CMS platform utilizing a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 4 and jQuery libraries. It integrates several third-party scripts for UI components, analytics, and social media functionality. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but likely stable given the site's uptime and content delivery. Opportunities exist to modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
