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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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

  4. Network security

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

    • 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

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

Stageone Kommunikation operates in the technology sector as a service-based web agency targeting businesses needing digital communication and web solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized service, local expertise in Thun, and a focus on sustainable, long-term client relationships. The business model centers on project-based web design and development with ongoing maintenance contracts. The company uses modern web technologies and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity for performance insights. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a professional market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google Tag Manager, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site uses an outdated jQuery version (1.6.1), which may pose security risks if not regularly patched. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS are not explicitly observed and should be implemented to enhance protection. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from modernizing libraries and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and navigation clarity to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Cloudrexx CMS platform, using Uikit for UI components and jQuery 1.6.1 along with jQuery Tools 1.2.6 for interactive features. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tags. The site loads asynchronously and uses modern HTML5 elements including video backgrounds. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No hosting provider details were found in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from updating legacy JavaScript libraries and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
