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

NetZone AG is a Swiss-based hosting provider specializing in web hosting, email services, domain registration, managed vServers, SMS, and security solutions. The company positions itself as a pioneer in Swiss hosting with a strong emphasis on Swiss server location, high availability, and security features such as spam and malware filtering and application firewalls. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting businesses and individuals seeking reliable hosting services in Switzerland. Technically, the site uses a modern but somewhat dated tech stack including Bootstrap 3.3.7 and jQuery 2.2.4, with integrations for Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with room for improvement in security transparency and SEO.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

NetZone AG operates in the technology sector as a medium-sized company focused on hosting and email services. Its business model revolves around providing all-inclusive hosting packages, domain registration, and managed server solutions, targeting primarily Swiss customers and businesses requiring Swiss data sovereignty. The company holds ICANN accreditation, enhancing its credibility in domain registration. The presence of partner domains such as hostpark.net and edgepilot.com suggests a collaborative ecosystem for email and server management services. Pricing transparency and multiple service tiers indicate a customer-centric approach. The company’s market position is that of a reliable, established Swiss hosting provider with a focus on quality and security.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Hosting infrastructure includes spam and malware filters, application firewalls, and daily backups, which are positive indicators of operational security. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages were found, which could limit transparency and incident response readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Enhance SEO metadata with relevant keywords and improve accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable but somewhat dated technology stack including jQuery 2.2.4 and Bootstrap 3.3.7, which may pose modernization opportunities. The site integrates Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons, and uses Dropzone.js and LightGallery for enhanced UI components. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts like Google reCAPTCHA. The site is mobile responsive and includes cookie consent modals for privacy compliance. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal, with missing keywords in meta tags. The hosting appears to be self-managed by NetZone AG, consistent with their business offerings. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
