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

Werkstatt für Gestaltung WfG AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in the design and retail of furniture and accessories, including sofas, felt bags, and leather bags. The company operates an e-commerce platform built on Magento, targeting primarily German-speaking Swiss customers. The website presents a professional design with good navigation and mobile optimization, supporting a positive user experience. The business model focuses on direct online sales and retail of design products, positioning itself as a niche regional player in the furniture retail sector. From a technical perspective, the website leverages a modern Magento stack with RequireJS, jQuery, and Magento PageBuilder components. The platform is well-structured, though performance is moderate and some SEO and accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and uses form key protections. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, and does not provide explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to headers and incident response transparency. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy and cookie policy present but no GDPR-specific indicators or data protection officer contact. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers reduces immediate trust signals, though a contact form is available. There are no signs of malicious content or adult material, and the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The website scores a 75 overall on AI evaluation, reflecting good content quality and business credibility, moderate technical implementation, and room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing stronger security headers, adding vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts, enhancing privacy compliance transparency, and improving SEO and accessibility features.

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 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 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

  4. 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

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

WfG AG operates in the retail sector focusing on design furniture and accessories, serving a niche market in Switzerland. The company leverages e-commerce to reach customers, with a product catalog including sofas, felt bags, and leather bags. The business model is direct-to-consumer retail with an emphasis on design quality. Market positioning appears regional and specialized, with no evidence of large-scale operations or subsidiaries. The website does not display certifications or trust badges, which could be an area for growth. The absence of social media links suggests limited digital marketing partnerships. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed, but the presence of an online store and shopping cart functionality indicates active sales operations. The company branding is consistent and professional, supporting a credible market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and Magento's form key protections in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. The absence of these elements suggests a moderate maturity level in security practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent mechanisms present but no explicit GDPR compliance statements or data protection officer contacts. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS.
  2. Enable the secure flag on cookies to enhance session security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Add explicit GDPR compliance statements and designate a data protection officer contact if applicable.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve website reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento Commerce platform using RequireJS, jQuery, and Magento UI components. It employs Mageplaza BannerSlider and Owl Carousel for UI elements. The site uses Bootstrap and FontAwesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and some optimization for mobile devices. The site lacks advanced SEO meta tags and structured data such as JSON-LD for business or product information. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA landmarks or enhanced keyboard navigation detected. The absence of security headers and missing Google Maps API key indicate areas for technical improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security and SEO practices.
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.
