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

Pixelmanufaktur Patrick Bonetti is a small, specialized web development consultancy based in Stäfa, Switzerland, founded in 2003. The company focuses on delivering tailored digital solutions including modern websites, intuitive frontends, and specialized widgets. Their market position is that of a boutique digital workshop with a strong emphasis on quality, user experience, and technical excellence. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive service descriptions and client testimonials. Technically, the website employs modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and advanced frontend technologies such as React and TypeScript. Hosting is provided by METANET AG in Switzerland, ensuring local data handling. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts are present, enhancing user privacy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and incorporates best practices such as anti-spam honeypot fields in forms. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no formal security or incident response policies are published. The privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR-compliant, but no cookie consent mechanism is present due to the absence of cookies. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security awareness, and privacy respect, suitable for a small technology service provider. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing cookie consent if cookies are introduced in the future.

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

8 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • 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

      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 X-Frame-Options header

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

Pixelmanufaktur operates as a small, independent digital workshop specializing in web development and frontend engineering. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized service, technical expertise, and a long-standing presence since 2003. The business model is service-based, targeting clients needing bespoke digital solutions. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts. The target audience includes small to medium enterprises and individuals seeking quality web presence. The company maintains a lean operation with no subsidiaries or parent company. Partnerships include METANET AG for hosting. The website content and testimonials reinforce trust and reliability, supporting steady growth and client retention.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture for a small business, with HTTPS enforced and no tracking scripts that could expose user data. The contact form includes anti-spam measures. The privacy policy is detailed and compliant with Swiss and EU data protection laws. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents a minor gap. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could limit rapid response to security events. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with formalized policies and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a cookie consent mechanism if any cookies or tracking scripts are introduced in the future.
  4. Regularly review and update the privacy policy to maintain compliance with evolving data protection regulations.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3 with SCSS, JavaScript, and advanced frontend frameworks like React and TypeScript. The code quality appears high with semantic markup and accessibility considerations. Hosting is managed by a reputable Swiss provider, METANET AG, ensuring data locality and compliance. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and images, lazy loading of portfolio images, and responsive design for mobile devices. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or lightweight CMS solution. The absence of third-party analytics or advertising scripts reduces external dependencies and privacy risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, modern, and well-maintained.
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.
