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.

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

Swiss Post's business model integrates traditional postal services with digital transformation initiatives and financial services, targeting both individual consumers and business/government clients. Its ecosystem includes subsidiaries like PostFinance and PostAuto, enhancing its service portfolio and market penetration. The company leverages partnerships and digital platforms to expand offerings such as ePost and logistics solutions. The website's extensive navigation and service categorization reflect a customer-centric approach, facilitating access to diverse postal and financial products. The presence of multiple social media channels and a dedicated contact center supports engagement and customer service excellence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login mechanisms, and consent management for cookies, aligning with GDPR requirements. Input validation on forms reduces injection risks. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of monitoring tools like Dynatrace indicates proactive performance and security monitoring. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers visibility and ensure comprehensive coverage.
  4. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents and data protection officer information.
  5. Continue to maintain and update consent management and privacy compliance mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Sitecore CMS, Coveo search platform, and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for analytics and consent management. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts, responsive design, and accessibility considerations. The infrastructure supports multilingual content and dynamic service offerings. Technical risks are minimal with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to further document security and compliance frameworks publicly to align with best practices.
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.
