Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view

GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention vcs.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for vcs.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

VCS Productions GmbH holds a solid market position in the visual computing technology sector in Switzerland. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive visual content creation and hardware solutions, including LED displays and projectors. The company leverages partnerships, such as with mdsdisplays.com, to enhance their service offerings. Their target customers are likely corporate clients requiring high-quality visual presentations and installations. The website's content and branding indicate a small-sized enterprise with a specialized niche. The absence of extensive marketing or tracking tools suggests a focus on direct client engagement rather than broad digital marketing. The company demonstrates stable operations with clear business registration and VAT information, supporting credibility in their market segment.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses a honeypot plugin to mitigate spam, indicating basic security awareness. However, it lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security issues. Privacy compliance is incomplete, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, potentially exposing the company to GDPR compliance risks. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish terms of service and an incident response policy including dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit plugins and themes for vulnerabilities and keep all software up to date to maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Designer Blocks theme and includes jQuery 3.7.1 and a honeypot anti-spam plugin. The site loads media assets efficiently with responsive images and includes video backgrounds for enhanced user experience. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses modern CSS and font loading techniques. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected but potential for optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but include skip links for screen readers. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website but could be improved with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and performance tuning.
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.
