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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company holds a strong market position within the Swiss psychology testing and publishing sector, leveraging its affiliation with Hogrefe Verlagsgruppe to offer a comprehensive portfolio of psychological tests, books, and educational services. The business targets professional psychologists, academic institutions, and healthcare providers, operating primarily in the education sector. Revenue streams likely include sales of test materials, digital testing platforms, seminar fees, and consulting services. The website supports multiple languages and regional versions, indicating a broad geographic reach within Europe. The partnership ecosystem includes Hogrefe's international branches, enhancing market penetration and service offerings. Growth indicators include digital eTesting solutions and continuing education programs, positioning the company well for future expansion in digital psychology services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms featuring password visibility toggles, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and terms of service documentation. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced documentation and formalized incident response channels to meet higher compliance standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Develop and disclose a formal security policy and incident response plan including dedicated contact channels.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. Integration of Google Tag Manager and ConsentManager shows adoption of modern analytics and privacy tools. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance appears moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, suggesting potential for improved transparency. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and optimization.
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.
