Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

85/100

Risk levelLow

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

Talus Informatik AG is a Swiss IT service provider specializing in comprehensive IT solutions for municipalities, communities, and energy supply companies. The company positions itself as a one-stop provider for IT total solutions, focusing on sectors such as energy and municipal administration. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting primarily Swiss municipal and energy sector clients. Technically, the website is built on the Weblication® CMS platform and utilizes modern web technologies including Font Awesome and Matomo analytics for user tracking. While the site is well-structured and mobile-optimized, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as visible security headers and incident response information, which are important for compliance and trust. The security posture is moderate due to these omissions, but no critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Talus Informatik AG operates in the energy and municipal IT solutions sector, offering software and data center services tailored to local governments and energy providers. Their business model revolves around providing integrated IT solutions, likely including software products and managed services. The company targets municipalities and energy companies in Switzerland, leveraging partnerships with known software brands like ABACUS and AXIOMA. The website content and metadata indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focused market niche. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The company’s digital presence is professional but could improve in transparency regarding privacy and security policies to strengthen customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics, which is a privacy-friendly alternative to mainstream trackers. However, there is no evidence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options, which are best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and readiness perception. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add an incident response page or contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities or outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weblication® CMS platform, using modern web fonts (Font Awesome 5 and 6) and Matomo for analytics. The site is responsive and mobile-optimized with a clean design and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but no advanced optimization techniques detected. The use of Matomo suggests a focus on privacy-conscious analytics. However, the lack of visible security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in compliance and security best practices. There is an opportunity to modernize security configurations and improve transparency to align with current standards.
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.
