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

6 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

    • 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

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 operates a B2B and B2C ecommerce model focused on fire safety and emergency response equipment. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing local presence, certified service technicians, and a broad product and service portfolio including inspections, training, and rentals. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integration of marketing and analytics tools, and partnerships with recognized brands and certification bodies. Revenue streams likely include product sales, service contracts, and training programs. The target customers are fire departments, safety officers, businesses requiring fire code compliance, and individual consumers. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing firms and equipment manufacturers, supporting a stable operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Analytics and Dynatrace indicates monitoring and analytics capabilities. However, the absence of a Content Security Policy and cookie consent mechanisms indicates gaps in modern security and privacy best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The site does not appear to use privacy protection in WHOIS, enhancing transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards and user trust expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Volusion ecommerce platform, leveraging jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, Bootstrap framework, and custom Volusion scripts. It uses asynchronous loading for analytics scripts to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive with a structured navigation menu and product categorization. Hosting appears to be managed by Volusion, providing standard ecommerce infrastructure. Performance is moderate with some legacy libraries (jQuery UI 1.8.4) that could be updated. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. The site uses Google Maps embedding and social media integration. Technical debt is low but modernization opportunities exist in updating libraries and enhancing security headers.
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.
