49/100

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

smARTec Veranstaltungstechnik AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in mobile event technology and digital events, offering services such as lighting, sound, and video technology rental and operation. Positioned as a Swiss industry leader with approximately 2000 projects annually, the company targets corporate, public, and exhibition event organizers. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Matomo, indicating a good level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional website and certifications. Overall, the site is trustworthy and business credible but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and security policies.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

smARTec holds a strong market position as a Swiss leader in mobile event technology, leveraging a comprehensive service portfolio that includes technical implementation of lighting, sound, and video for various event types. The business model focuses on service provision and equipment rental, supported by an in-house material and logistics park ensuring operational flexibility. The company maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, enhancing its credibility and commitment to quality and environmental management. Its target customers include corporate clients, public event organizers, and exhibition planners. The company actively engages through social media and maintains a dedicated job portal, indicating growth and investment in human resources. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not currently impact operational credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure analytics platforms, reflecting a baseline good security posture. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, supported by modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. Analytics integration includes both Google Analytics and Matomo, providing comprehensive visitor insights. The site loads multimedia content including embedded Vimeo videos, enhancing user engagement. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The technical implementation is solid, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and possibly optimize hosting details for faster load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
