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

Prägebüro GmbH operates the Papiersaal and Folium event venues located in the historic Old Sihlpapierfabrik in Zurich, Switzerland. The company offers flexible event spaces suitable for conferences, presentations, and celebrations accommodating 60 to 600 guests. Their business model centers on venue rental complemented by comprehensive event services including catering, technical setup, and event creation. The company targets business, private, and public clients seeking unique event locations in Zurich. The website reflects a strong market position within the hospitality sector, supported by partnerships with local tourism and event organizations. Technically, the website is built on the Cmsbox CMS platform with integrations such as Google reCAPTCHA for form security, Typekit fonts for typography, and Piwik analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, delivering a professional user experience. Performance is moderate with modern web technologies employed, though some improvements in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are recommended. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but the absence of a cookie consent banner reduces compliance confidence. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-aligned with the business objectives. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, and publishing incident response information to improve compliance and security posture further.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

    • 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

The company holds a niche position in Zurich's event venue market, leveraging the unique historic location and flexible spaces to attract diverse clientele. Their partnerships with local tourism and cultural organizations enhance credibility and market reach. Revenue streams likely derive from venue rentals and ancillary services such as catering and technical event support. The business model emphasizes customization and full-service event planning, appealing to corporate, private, and public sectors. Growth potential exists through expanded marketing and enhanced digital presence. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable local entities, reinforcing market trust and operational synergy.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA integration mitigates automated abuse risks on forms. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of a published security or incident response policy represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms despite tracking scripts. Incident response readiness is unclear with no dedicated contact channels. Overall, the security posture supports business operations but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking and data collection.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Cmsbox CMS version 3.0, integrating modern web technologies including Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, Typekit for fonts, and Piwik for analytics. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
