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

3 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. 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

Abele Optik holds a significant market position as one of Germany's largest optician retailers, leveraging both brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce channels. Their business model focuses on direct retail sales, subscription services for eyewear and contact lenses, and personalized consultation services. The company benefits from a broad product portfolio including branded eyewear and exclusive offers like the Lucky Glasses program. Their partnership ecosystem includes Trusted Shops for certification and FittingBox for virtual try-on technology. The career subdomain indicates organizational growth and investment in human resources. The target customer segment is broad, encompassing general consumers in need of vision correction and fashion eyewear. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns and seasonal promotions. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital transformation and customer experience enhancements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, indicating GDPR awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security posture. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling. The Trusted Shops certification adds a layer of trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail e-commerce site but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including email addresses and physical addresses to improve transparency and customer trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks Nuxt.js and Vue.js, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. Hosting on Bunny.net suggests reliable CDN and performance optimization. The site uses web fonts and responsive design techniques to ensure good mobile usability. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, and Trusted Shops widgets are integrated for trust signals. Performance appears moderate with multiple preloaded scripts and images optimized for different resolutions. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data, enhancing search engine visibility. Technical risks are minimal but could be mitigated by adding security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
