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

2 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 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. 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

Sontex operates primarily in the energy sector, targeting energy suppliers, realtors, and building automation professionals. Its business model is B2B, leveraging a network of international partners and subsidiaries to distribute its products and services. The company emphasizes Swiss quality and innovation, supported by accreditations and a comprehensive product portfolio. The presence of a dedicated online portal 'My Sontex' and a ticket system indicates a focus on customer support and service. The company maintains a strong brand consistency and trust signals through detailed contact information, partner logos, and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, presence of multiple security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response plan and lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file represent gaps in transparency and readiness. The site uses third-party libraries such as jQuery and Revolution Slider, which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to minimize security vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding data retention policies and more detailed privacy compliance information to the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, Revolution Slider, Fancybox, and Owl Carousel for UI and interactivity. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some heavy slider assets that could be optimized. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional online presence with room for performance and accessibility 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.
