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

PIXELPETER GmbH is a Swiss-based technology service provider specializing in web development, graphic design, SEO, media production, AI consulting, and hosting services. With over 25 years of experience and a strong portfolio of projects and satisfied clients, the company targets SMEs, freelancers, artists, associations, and social organizations. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and a focus on customer orientation. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and responsive design principles to ensure good mobile optimization and user experience. While performance is moderate, the site is well-structured with SEO-friendly meta tags and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security posture. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or scripts. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a solid business credibility score but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

PIXELPETER GmbH holds a stable market position in the Swiss technology services sector, focusing on web and graphic solutions for a diverse client base including SMEs and social organizations. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience, comprehensive service portfolio, and customer-centric approach. The business model is service-oriented with revenue streams from development, design, SEO, AI consulting, and hosting. Growth indicators include a large number of completed projects and satisfied customers. The company appears to operate independently without listed subsidiaries or parent companies. The absence of social media and partner domains suggests a focused but possibly limited partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries are evident. However, the absence of security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response contacts reveals compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and NIS2 regulations. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and readiness for incident handling. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add an incident response contact or abuse email to facilitate security issue reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and CMS extensions to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and extensible content management system, combined with modern front-end technologies including JavaScript libraries like CountUp.js and Jarallax for animations and parallax effects. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and canonical URLs. Performance is moderate, likely due to large background images and multiple JavaScript assets. There is no explicit hosting provider information. Technical risks include the lack of security headers and missing privacy compliance features, which could impact regulatory adherence and user trust. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and accessibility further.
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.
