We enumerated the entire Swiss .ch domain namespace and scan it continuously — DNS, TLS, HTTP, ports, email security, CVEs. Every scan is written to a snapshot and published openly.
Switzerland's regulatory landscape has fundamentally shifted — yet no public dataset showed where the Swiss .ch namespace actually stood. So we scanned all of it.
Since April 2025, organisations must report cyberattacks to the NCSC within 24 hours. Fines up to CHF 100,000. Knowing your attack surface is the only defensible compliance strategy.
Operative since January 2025. Swiss financial institutions and their suppliers must conduct annual attack surface assessments. Creates indirect obligations for thousands of Swiss SME suppliers.
European clients now audit their Swiss suppliers' cybersecurity posture as a condition of contract. A Swiss SME without evidence of surface monitoring risks losing enterprise customers.
Existing tools assess one organisation at a time, behind a paywall, on request. No one had scanned the entire Swiss namespace and published the result — so there was no baseline to measure against.
We independently enumerated the entire Swiss .ch domain namespace — over 2.5 million domains — and scan it on a recurring basis. This dataset is not licensed from anyone and cannot be easily replicated. No domestic or international player holds this asset.
It enables national-level risk benchmarking against Swiss industry peers, identification of .ch look-alike domains used for phishing, and longitudinal tracking of the Swiss internet attack surface over time — one snapshot at a time. These are capabilities no generic global scanner can offer.
"We performed a complete enumeration of the entire Swiss .ch domain namespace. Every run adds another snapshot to a history no one else has."
HELVETISCAN scans everything an attacker can see from the outside — no agent installation, no IT access, no cooperation from the domain owner required.
Expired or weak TLS certificates, missing CT logs, outdated protocol versions — including certificates expiring within 30 days.
Missing CAA records, absence of DNSSEC signing, wildcard exposure, and full subdomain enumeration including forgotten legacy assets.
HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy — scored and benchmarked against Swiss industry peers.
Open database ports, RDP, legacy protocols visible on the public internet — ranked by exploitability and business impact.
Full SPF/DKIM/DMARC policy validation — not just presence detection. Identifies whether a domain can be impersonated today.
LLM-generated plain-language risk reports explaining findings in business terms — structured for ISG, DORA, and FINMA audit requirements.
Continuous monitoring for typosquatted, homoglyph, and combo-squatted domains that impersonate your brand — catching phishing infrastructure before it is weaponised against your customers or employees.
These are not estimates. Every figure comes from production scans of the full Swiss namespace — the same engine that powers the platform.
76.4% of .ch domains return a live HTTP response. 450,916 domains fail DNS entirely — no active server behind them.
71.7% of live .ch domains end on HTTPS — but over a quarter of Swiss sites transmit data unencrypted in 2025.
1,146,818 .ch domains can be impersonated in a phishing attack today — SPF absent or permissive, DMARC missing or on p=none.
Databases, file shares, and container APIs are directly reachable from the public internet on tens of thousands of Swiss domains.
Data sovereignty is a live compliance issue. 207,977 domains have both foreign DNS control and foreign hosting — fully outside Swiss jurisdiction.
Basic browser-enforced protections are absent on nearly half of Swiss domains — HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options are the norm in every other developed market.
Over 977,666 domains of the Swiss namespace runs software with actively exploited vulnerabilities confirmed by the US CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
93.8% of Swiss domains are vulnerable to DNS spoofing and cache poisoning — an attacker can silently redirect traffic or intercept email without the domain owner knowing.
Over 870,000 Swiss domains publicly expose control interfaces — login pages, dashboards, and management consoles — reachable by anyone on the open internet.
Every scan is written to a dated, read-only snapshot — nothing is overwritten. This section diffs the two most recent snapshots automatically as new ones are published. The first snapshot is still being filled in, so some modules below are only partially scanned — the numbers firm up as coverage reaches 100%.
A single composite risk index synthesising every scan dimension — TLS, DNS, email security, exposed services, headers, CVEs, and hosting sovereignty — benchmarked against 1.8 million .ch domains and calibrated by sector. No other Swiss tool produces this.
Your score is benchmarked against every peer in your sector — legal, finance, healthcare, retail — so you see exactly how exposed you are relative to competitors.
Weekly score deltas show whether your security posture is strengthening or degrading — essential for board reporting and NIS2 compliance evidence.
Every finding is ranked by its score impact, so each domain gets a prioritised remediation list — not a raw dump of data.
HelvetiScore is the foundation of every report we generate — the single number that turns 50+ raw scan dimensions into a decision an SME owner can act on.
The snapshots and dataviz are open. No sales process, no account required to look.
Pharma, finance, healthcare and other sector teams benchmarking their own posture against national norms.
Sourced, reproducible figures on the state of Swiss internet infrastructure — no vendor sales pitch attached.
ISG, DORA and NIS2 stakeholders who need a national picture, not a single-organisation assessment.
Anyone who wants to check where their own .ch domain stands against 2.5M peers, for free.
Every scan module is operational and the source is public. See the GitHub repo for the code behind every figure on this page.
