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

4 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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 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

The business positions itself as a key regional distributor for Alfa Network products in Europe, leveraging an e-commerce model to reach a broad audience including home users and professional clients. Its competitive advantage lies in authorized distributor status and a focused product portfolio. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales of networking hardware and accessories. The company maintains a clean digital presence with no apparent privacy protection on WHOIS, consistent domain age with business claims, and integration of customer trust signals like Trustpilot. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for managed contact via forms, possibly to control communication channels. The business ecosystem includes partnerships with payment providers like Stripe and uses Cloudflare Zaraz for tag management, indicating a modern approach to digital marketing and analytics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place to comply with privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy in the visible HTML is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could improve transparency and incident response readiness. The site uses secure payment integration (Stripe) and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be enhanced with additional headers, published security policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS, utilizing a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Fonts. It integrates Stripe for payments and Trustpilot for customer reviews, managed via Cloudflare Zaraz tag manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading times and accessibility. The technical infrastructure is solid for an e-commerce platform, but could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved accessibility compliance.
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.
