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

Rivella.ch is the official website of Rivella AG, a Swiss beverage company known for its unique soft drinks made from milk serum. The website primarily serves as a corporate and product information portal targeting general consumers in Switzerland and German-speaking regions. The business model focuses on manufacturing and retail distribution of beverages, with a strong local market presence. The website uses modern web technologies such as Gatsby for static site generation and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics purposes. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers, which are important for compliance and trust. The security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing standard security headers and enhancing privacy compliance. Overall, the website is functional but basic in content quality and user experience, with room for improvement in transparency and security practices.

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

6 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"

  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

Rivella AG holds a solid position in the Swiss beverage market with a recognizable brand. The company operates primarily in the retail sector, focusing on beverage production and distribution. The website reflects a straightforward business model without complex e-commerce or interactive features. The lack of visible contact details and policies on the site suggests a focus on brand presence rather than direct customer engagement online. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of marketing and user behavior tracking, but privacy compliance appears minimal. There are no indications of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and a moderate level of professionalism in its digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS (implied by the URL) and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected in the provided HTML content, which could expose the site to certain risks. There are no visible forms or input fields, reducing attack surface, but also no explicit incident response or security policy information. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection that might obscure registrant identity. Overall, the security posture is moderate but lacks several best practices and transparency elements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Include clear contact information, including emails and phone numbers, to improve business credibility and user support.
  4. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby, a modern React-based static site generator, which generally offers good performance and security benefits due to static content delivery. The presence of Google Tag Manager indicates integration with marketing and analytics tools. The site preloads fonts and scripts efficiently, suggesting attention to performance optimization. However, the lack of visible meta tags for SEO and absence of accessibility features in the provided HTML limit the site's technical maturity. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML. The site appears moderately optimized for mobile but lacks advanced accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with opportunities for enhancement in SEO, accessibility, and security.
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.
