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

OWNBIT GmbH is a Swiss web agency specializing in custom websites and web applications, with a strong focus on user-centered digital solutions. The company targets Swiss SMEs, corporations, and design agencies, offering tailored WordPress and web development services. With over 12 years of market presence and more than 200 clients, OWNBIT holds a reputable position in the local technology sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by client testimonials and a 5-star Google rating. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Vue.js and Gridsome, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The use of WordPress for client projects indicates flexibility in CMS solutions. The site includes cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy, demonstrating good GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers and SSL configuration details are not evident from the data, suggesting areas for security enhancement. The security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of detailed security policies and incident response information indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is justified for this business type, though it limits domain age verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, with recommendations to strengthen security headers and transparency. Strategically, OWNBIT should focus on enhancing security best practices and publishing vulnerability disclosure policies to further build client trust and compliance readiness.

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

5 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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  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

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  4. 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 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';…

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.

Business context

Business profile

OWNBIT operates as a specialized web agency in Switzerland, focusing on delivering custom digital solutions primarily to SMEs and design agencies. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, client-centric approach, and expertise in WordPress and modern web technologies. Revenue streams likely derive from bespoke web development projects and agency partnerships. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with Swiss clients and agencies, as evidenced by their portfolio. Growth indicators include a solid client base and positive testimonials. The business model emphasizes quality, flexibility, and partnership, positioning OWNBIT as a trusted local technology service provider.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed in the data. Security best practices such as cookie consent and privacy policies are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies highlight compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, indicating a low immediate risk. The company should improve transparency around security policies and implement recommended headers to enhance protection against common web threats. Incident response readiness appears minimal based on available information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Conduct an SSL/TLS configuration audit to ensure strong encryption and certificate validity.
  3. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and client trust.
  4. Enhance security and privacy policy documentation with explicit references to compliance frameworks and data protection measures.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) and static site generator (Gridsome), enabling fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of lazy loading for images and preloading of critical CSS and JS assets indicates performance optimization efforts. The CMS for client projects is WordPress, suggesting a hybrid approach to content management. No hosting provider details were identified. Accessibility and SEO optimizations appear good based on meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt is minimal with a clean, professional codebase. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and integrate advanced analytics or monitoring tools.
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.
