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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ABOUT YOU GmbH is positioned as a major player in the European online fashion retail sector, leveraging a multi-brand marketplace model. The company benefits from a strong brand presence, extensive product offerings, and a user-centric approach. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales. The company maintains partnerships with numerous fashion brands and uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. Growth indicators include a large product catalog and consistent investment in technology and user experience. The business operates transparently with clear contact information and legal disclosures.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of consent management frameworks ensuring GDPR compliance. Use of Datadog for error logging and monitoring indicates proactive operational security. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for e-commerce platforms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel for security issues.
  3. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript-based tech stack, likely React, with asynchronous loading of scripts for performance optimization. It uses Usercentrics for consent management and Datadog for monitoring, indicating a well-instrumented infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but likely cloud-based. Performance is fast with preloading of critical scripts. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised.
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.
