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

Kuhn Organ Builders Ltd is a Swiss-based company specializing in the manufacturing, restoration, and maintenance of pipe organs. With a heritage spanning approximately 150 years, the company emphasizes Swiss craftsmanship and quality, producing organs entirely in Switzerland. Their website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, targeting musicians, churches, concert halls, and cultural institutions worldwide. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides clear contact information and multilingual support, enhancing its international appeal. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swipe.js for interactive features. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security-wise, HTTPS is used, but explicit security headers and policies are not evident. No cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy compliance indicators are present, suggesting room for improvement in GDPR adherence. The security posture is adequate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The WHOIS data aligns well with the company's claims, showing a consistent and legitimate registration. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and safe, with minor gaps in privacy and security policy disclosures.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Kuhn Organ Builders Ltd holds a strong position in the niche market of organ manufacturing and restoration, leveraging its long-standing Swiss heritage as a competitive advantage. The business model focuses on high-quality craftsmanship and local production, avoiding low-cost imports. Their target customers include religious institutions, concert venues, and organ enthusiasts globally. The company’s multilingual website and social media presence indicate an international outreach strategy. While no direct revenue streams or partnerships are explicitly listed, the company’s emphasis on innovation and sustainability suggests ongoing development and market responsiveness. The lack of visible certifications or formal security policies may reflect the traditional nature of the business rather than a technology-driven enterprise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks or vulnerable libraries are detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security contact information is published, which could delay response to security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit statements. The site does not use tracking or analytics scripts that could introduce privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small manufacturing business but could be enhanced to meet modern compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and provide a dedicated security or abuse contact email.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by updating the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and data retention.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor website performance and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao CMS platform, leveraging several JavaScript libraries including jQuery, jQuery UI, Colorbox, Tablesorter, and Swipe.js for UI components and interactivity. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization and includes multilingual support for broad accessibility. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple CSS and JS assets, but no critical technical debt or errors are evident. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, and no advanced cloud or CDN services are detected. The technical stack is suitable for a small to medium-sized business with traditional manufacturing focus.
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.
