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

7 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

  2. 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"

  3. 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

  4. 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 · 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

Business profile

Suissedigital holds an important position in the Swiss telecommunications sector as an industry association facilitating collaboration among regional fiber optic providers. Its business model revolves around member services, information dissemination, and event organization, targeting primarily SMEs and regional network operators. The association leverages digital tools like network search portals and cybersecurity checks to support its members. The presence of active social media channels and regular media releases indicates a proactive communication strategy. The lack of visible certifications or security frameworks suggests room for formalizing compliance and security standards. The website's content and structure reflect a mature organization with a clear focus on telecommunications infrastructure and digital transformation support for Swiss businesses.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and secure form implementations using hidden tokens. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate areas for improvement. There is no explicit incident response contact or security policy visible, which could be critical for handling security incidents effectively. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is important for GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security transparency and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Flickity for carousels, and FancyBox for modals, enhancing user interaction. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices such as meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and deferred JavaScript loading. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly web presence with opportunities for further optimization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
