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 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

      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 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

Poujoulat Switzerland SA operates in the energy sector, focusing on smoke evacuation and chimney systems. It benefits from the backing of the Groupe Poujoulat, a European market leader, providing it with strong market positioning and access to extensive product ranges. The business model includes B2B and B2C sales, technical consulting, and project support. The company maintains partnerships with local associations and has a visible presence on major social media platforms. Growth indicators include recent website updates and active content publishing. The company emphasizes quality, innovation, and local responsiveness, which are competitive advantages in the Swiss market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, uses reputable WordPress plugins, and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site shows a moderate security maturity level appropriate for its business size but could enhance its posture by adding dedicated security documentation and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding phone contact information clearly labeled for customer support to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using Elementor and several premium addons, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. It leverages common web fonts from Google Fonts and uses Swiper.js for interactive slideshows. The site is multilingual, supporting French and German, managed via WPML. Performance is moderate with minified CSS and JS assets cached, but no explicit hosting provider was identified. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility compliance. No critical technical risks were detected that would impact business operations.
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.
