Risk levelMedium

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

PKS Kaffeemaschinen AG is a specialized Swiss company with over 40 years of experience in selling and servicing professional coffee machines for the hospitality and commercial sectors. Their website reflects a focused business model targeting restaurants, bars, hotels, offices, and care homes, offering high-quality coffee equipment and tailored coffee concepts. The company positions itself as a trusted partner with strong industry relationships, notably with Thermoplan, a leading coffee machine manufacturer. Technically, the website is built on a modern platform (Duda), uses contemporary JavaScript libraries, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Snowplow. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers and policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy page, but lacks detailed GDPR compliance indicators and terms of service. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with the company's business objectives.

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

3 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. 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 operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on professional coffee machines and related services. Their market position is that of a niche specialist with a long-standing presence in Switzerland. The business model centers on direct sales and service contracts, supported by consulting on coffee concepts. The website content and navigation suggest a customer-centric approach targeting various hospitality and commercial segments. Partnerships with reputable manufacturers like Thermoplan enhance credibility. The company appears to be small-sized with localized operations. The presence of references and testimonials indicates a stable customer base. The website is supported by a professional web agency, indicating investment in digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of modern libraries without known vulnerabilities is noted. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The site does not expose forms with sensitive inputs beyond basic contact links. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish terms of service to clarify user and business obligations.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance by detailing data processing and retention policies on the privacy page.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Notes

The website is built on the Duda platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.0, Flexslider, and Skrollr for animations and UI effects. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Snowplow, indicating a focus on user behavior tracking. The site uses CDN-hosted assets for performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. The site loads moderately fast but could benefit from further optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
