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

Paprec Schweiz is a well-established Swiss company specializing in sustainable recycling, waste management, and secure data destruction services. With over 125 years of experience and multiple subsidiaries across key Swiss regions such as Aargau, Basel, Geneva, Lucerne, and Zurich, the company offers comprehensive solutions for both corporate and private clients. Their business model focuses on environmental sustainability and resource recovery, leveraging modern technologies and eco-friendly processes. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by structured data and active social media presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with popular plugins like Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie for SEO and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and uses interactive mapping tools to showcase locations. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers could be improved. Analytics usage is minimal and privacy-conscious, with Google Analytics disabled by default. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected. However, the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. Contact information is clearly presented with multiple phone numbers and physical addresses for subsidiaries. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence aligned with the company's market position. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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.

Business context

Business profile

Paprec Schweiz holds a strong market position as a regional leader in sustainable waste management and recycling services in Switzerland. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing history, diversified service portfolio, and integration within the Paprec Group. Revenue streams likely include service contracts for waste disposal, recycling, secure shredding, and value-added services like muldenservice and public collection points. The target customer segments encompass municipalities, businesses, and private individuals seeking environmentally responsible waste solutions. Growth indicators include expansion of subsidiaries and digital engagement through blogs and social media. The partnership ecosystem includes Reisswolf for secure data destruction and various regional subsidiaries, enhancing service coverage and specialization. Operationally, the company emphasizes modern technology adoption and environmental stewardship, positioning itself well for future regulatory and market demands.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism via Borlabs Cookie, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The presence of Google site verification meta tag suggests ownership validation. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The absence of published security policies or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for the business type but with room for enhancement in policy publication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and WordPress core to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Borlabs Cookie for privacy compliance, and FontAwesome for iconography. It uses jQuery and SiteOrigin Panels for layout and interactivity, along with Mapplic for interactive maps showcasing service locations. The site is mobile responsive and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO and rich snippets. Performance appears moderate with some large images and complex map SVGs that could be optimized. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers to align with best practices. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found in the content.
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.
