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

4 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. 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ombud-postcom.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The organization holds a niche position as the official dispute resolution body for postal matters in Switzerland, leveraging its affiliation with PostCom to establish trust and authority. The website's multi-language support and clear navigation cater well to its Swiss audience. However, the lack of detailed contact information beyond an email address and absence of privacy and cookie policies indicate areas for improvement in customer engagement and compliance. The use of Squarespace as a platform suggests a moderate level of digital maturity with room for technical enhancements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, ensuring secure communications. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and vulnerability disclosure information highlights compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and data protection best practices. The limited contact information may also impact incident response readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate but could be strengthened with formal policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Introduce a cookie policy and consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Expand contact information to include a phone number and physical address for better user support and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and web fonts from Typekit and Google Fonts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and moderate performance. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but could be improved with richer metadata and structured data. No advanced frameworks or analytics tools were detected, indicating a straightforward technical setup with low complexity and manageable technical debt.
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.
