Security score

82/100

Risk levelLow

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

Protectas is a leading Swiss private security company offering integrated security solutions including on-site guarding, mobile patrols, electronic security, and enterprise risk management. It operates as part of the global Securitas Group, leveraging strong brand recognition and extensive service offerings tailored to corporate and private clients in Switzerland. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and optimized for user experience and accessibility. Technically, the site employs modern analytics and consent management tools, ensuring GDPR compliance and user privacy. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of a public security.txt and incident response information suggests room for improvement. WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual and reduces transparency, but the overall trustworthiness remains high based on branding and content quality. Strategic recommendations include publishing vulnerability disclosure policies and improving domain registration transparency.

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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Protectas holds a strong market position in the Swiss security sector as part of Securitas AB. Its business model focuses on comprehensive security services for various sectors, including corporate and private clients. The company benefits from ISO certifications and a broad geographic presence through related Securitas domains. Revenue streams likely include contract security services, electronic security solutions, and risk management consulting. The website's multilingual support and country-specific content indicate a focus on localized customer engagement. Partnerships within the Securitas Group enhance operational capabilities and market reach. Growth indicators include digital maturity and investment in analytics and consent frameworks. Overall, Protectas demonstrates a mature, well-structured business with solid market integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and robust cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Use of Microsoft Application Insights and Clarity indicates active monitoring and analytics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a security.txt file and explicit incident response contact details limits transparency and readiness communication. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain trust but does not directly impact website security. Recommendations include establishing a public vulnerability disclosure channel and enhancing incident response visibility to strengthen security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and policies on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention disclosures and privacy policy details for greater user trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, OneTrust for consent management, and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and multilingual support. Hosting details are not explicit but the performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The CMS appears custom or proprietary. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to improve technical transparency and incident response readiness.
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.
