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 holds a strong market position as a large-scale online fashion retailer in Europe, leveraging partnerships with numerous well-known brands. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce with value-added services such as live shopping and second-hand/upcycling categories. The platform offers flexible payment options including Buy Now Pay Later and invoice payments, catering to diverse customer preferences. The presence of VIP customer service and extensive brand assortments indicates a focus on customer retention and premium experiences. The company maintains a broad geographic footprint with localized content and multiple country-specific domains. Its affiliate marketing and certification partnerships enhance its market reach and trustworthiness. The platform's continuous feature flag management and A/B testing suggest a data-driven approach to growth and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with essential protections such as HTTPS, SPF, and DMARC email authentication. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records indicates potential areas for DNS security improvement. The SSL certificate is valid but lacks HSTS enforcement, which could expose users to certain downgrade attacks. No vulnerable or weak cipher suites were detected, and no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were found. The site employs a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. However, additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly found, suggesting an opportunity to improve transparency and security culture. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from implementing advanced security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Adopt DNSSEC and CAA records to improve DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and modern JavaScript frameworks, with a modular architecture evident from the use of modulepreload and chunked assets. It integrates third-party services such as Usercentrics for consent management and Datadog for logging and analytics. The hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing DNS and CDN services. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (~24.5 seconds) with a high number of resources (361) and moderate page size (~121 KB). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph properties, and canonical links. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimizations to reduce load times and resource counts.
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.
