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

Webland AG is a Swiss-based hosting provider established in 1998, offering a comprehensive range of web hosting, email hosting, domain registration, and cloud office services primarily targeting private individuals and businesses in Switzerland. The company emphasizes Swiss quality, security, and data sovereignty by operating all servers within Switzerland and being a BAKOM registered Internet Service Provider. Their market position is that of a trusted, established mid-sized hosting provider with a strong local presence and a broad service portfolio including Windows and Linux hosting platforms. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and DotNetNuke CMS. It integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and Intercom for customer engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and offers security features like Web Application Firewall and SSL certificates including free Let's Encrypt options. However, there is room for improvement in implementing HTTP security headers and publishing explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Webland AG presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility, good privacy compliance, and a professional online presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and adding a security.txt file to improve transparency and security posture further.

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"

    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Webland AG operates in the competitive Swiss hosting market with a focus on Swiss data protection and quality hosting services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1998, local server infrastructure, and comprehensive service offerings including Windows and Linux hosting, cloud office solutions, and domain registration with .swiss domains. Revenue streams likely include subscription-based hosting plans, domain sales, SSL certificates, and value-added services like cluster hosting and application hosting. The target customer segments include private users, small to medium enterprises, and corporate clients requiring reliable and secure hosting. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem with technology providers and uses modern marketing and analytics tools to support growth. Their operations reflect a stable and mature business with consistent branding and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of Webland AG is moderate to high. The use of HTTPS and SSL certificates is well implemented, and the mention of Web Application Firewall indicates proactive security measures. The website does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries visibly. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in script loading and caching strategies. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but include potential improvements in security headers and accessibility compliance. The hosting infrastructure is Swiss-based, supporting data sovereignty and regulatory compliance.
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.
