Risk levelMedium

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

Notenpunkt AG operates a specialized music retail business primarily serving the Swiss market through both physical stores and an online e-commerce platform. The company offers a wide range of music sheets, books, blockflutes, and musical accessories, targeting musicians, educators, and music enthusiasts. The website reflects a well-established regional presence with clear branding and consistent business information. Technically, the site uses a proprietary CMS (NImQ Enterprise Shop Edition) with common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and slick carousel for UI enhancements. Mobile optimization and user experience are good, supporting a broad customer base. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and form validation, but lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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 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

    • 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 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

Notenpunkt AG holds a niche position in the Swiss music retail sector, leveraging both physical stores and an online presence to reach customers. Their business model focuses on specialized products like music sheets and instruments, supported by customer accounts and localized store selection. The partnership with Müller & Schade and advertising of related cultural events indicate active engagement in the music community. Revenue streams likely include direct sales and possibly affiliate marketing. The company targets a specialized audience, including professional musicians and students, which supports a focused marketing and product strategy. The presence of legal and privacy pages indicates regulatory awareness, though cookie consent implementation is missing. The company is owned by MGS Loib GmbH, suggesting a small to medium enterprise scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and client-side validation on login and contact forms. The use of CAPTCHA on the contact form helps mitigate spam. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or security policy pages are found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt is a gap in security best practices. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to increase transparency.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the NImQ Enterprise Shop Edition CMS, utilizing jQuery and slick carousel for interactive elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses select2 for enhanced dropdowns. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented for images. SEO is supported by meta tags including keywords and description. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses AJAX for login and session management, enhancing user experience. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modern security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
