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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Salt holds a strong market position in the Swiss telecommunications sector, offering competitive mobile and internet plans with lifetime discounts and free activation promotions. The business model focuses on direct consumer sales via online and physical stores, supported by extensive customer service. The company targets a broad audience including individual consumers and SMEs. The website's multilingual support and clear navigation enhance user experience. Salt leverages Google advertising and analytics tools for marketing and user tracking. The absence of explicit privacy and security policy disclosures suggests room for compliance improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and standard security headers implied. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. The cookie consent implementation aligns with GDPR requirements but the absence of a privacy policy page reduces compliance confidence. Overall, Salt's website security is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Create a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Ensure all security headers are explicitly set and documented.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with responsive design and accessibility features. It uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking and marketing. Performance is moderate with optimized images and preloading techniques. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and branding consistency. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and security header visibility.
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.
