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

swissdatabox.com is a Swiss-based cloud storage and backup service provider operated by alixon gmbh, a small IT company located in Aarau, Switzerland. The company offers secure cloud solutions emphasizing Swiss data sovereignty, automatic synchronization across devices, and team collaboration features. Their business model is subscription-based with tiered pricing plans targeting individuals and teams seeking reliable and secure cloud storage. The website content is professional and well-structured, providing clear information about services, pricing, and contact details. Technically, the website leverages the Nextcloud open source platform and uses ExtJS for frontend interactions. While the site is accessible and functional, technical implementation shows room for improvement in performance optimization, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility. The presence of Lead Forensics tracking indicates moderate user tracking without visible privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners or privacy policies. From a security perspective, the website benefits from Swiss data center hosting with high physical security standards and encrypted data transmission. However, the absence of HTTP security headers, lack of visible security policies, and missing WHOIS domain registration data raise concerns about the overall security posture and domain legitimacy. The login form lacks advanced protections such as CSRF tokens or CAPTCHA, which could be improved to enhance security. Overall, swissdatabox.com presents a credible business offering with good content quality and moderate technical maturity. The main risks stem from incomplete domain registration transparency and insufficient published privacy and security policies. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

swissdatabox.com operates in the competitive cloud storage market with a focus on Swiss data privacy and security. Their competitive advantage lies in local data hosting, use of open source Nextcloud technology, and clear tiered pricing plans. The business targets small teams and individual users valuing data sovereignty and secure collaboration. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees with options for additional storage and users. The company maintains a small but skilled team and partners with alixon.ch for IT services. Growth potential exists in expanding corporate plans and enhancing cloud service features. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes hosting and software providers. Strategic observations suggest focusing on compliance, domain legitimacy, and enhanced security to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The security maturity level of swissdatabox.com is moderate. Strengths include Swiss-based data centers with robust physical security, encrypted data transmission, and use of a reputable open source platform (Nextcloud). However, the absence of critical HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS), lack of published security and incident response policies, and missing domain WHOIS data reduce overall security confidence. The login form's lack of advanced protections and the presence of third-party tracking scripts without clear privacy disclosures indicate compliance gaps. There is no evidence of GDPR or NIS2 compliance measures explicitly stated. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented. Addressing these gaps would significantly improve the security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish detailed security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Secure login forms with anti-CSRF tokens and CAPTCHA to prevent automated attacks.
  5. Clarify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Nextcloud for cloud services and ExtJS for frontend scripting, supplemented by MD5.js and Font Awesome icons. The site loads external scripts from trusted sources such as maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com and includes Lead Forensics for visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The HTML structure is valid and SEO basics are covered with meta tags and canonical links. However, the lack of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and privacy domains. Hosting details are not explicitly stated but data centers are claimed to be in Switzerland. Modernization efforts should focus on security hardening, privacy compliance, and enhanced user experience on mobile devices.
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.
