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

Online-Kiosk.ch is an e-commerce platform operated by Ringier AG, a major Swiss media company, providing access to a wide range of magazines and newspapers. The site serves as a centralized digital kiosk linking users directly to individual publisher shops for subscription and purchase. The platform targets consumers interested in Swiss media publications and offers a professional, well-branded user experience. Technically, the site is built on modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with integrated analytics and monitoring via New Relic and Tealium. The website is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility and SEO could be improved. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and security headers implied, but explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism in place but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business, enhancing 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 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

    • 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

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

Ringier AG leverages Online-Kiosk.ch to consolidate its magazine and newspaper offerings into a single digital storefront, enhancing customer convenience and cross-selling opportunities. The business model focuses on subscription sales and direct linking to publisher shops, targeting a Swiss audience interested in media content. The platform benefits from Ringier's strong brand recognition and media presence. The absence of direct contact information and detailed policies suggests a focus on streamlined user experience rather than direct customer service. The integration of analytics and consent management indicates awareness of regulatory requirements and user behavior tracking. The site’s partnerships with various publisher domains reflect a broad ecosystem within the media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and implied use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy. The presence of CSP violation event listeners indicates proactive monitoring for security issues. However, the lack of explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and consent management supports compliance and security best practices. Recommendations include publishing clear security policies and establishing incident response channels to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add a security policy page and vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and security incident contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to boost search engine visibility and indexing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern, server-side rendered React framework optimized for performance and SEO. It employs OneTrust for cookie consent management and integrates New Relic and Tealium for performance monitoring and analytics. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization and includes lazy loading of images for performance. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for viewport and description, though Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are not present or minimal. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to enhance SEO and 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.
