Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and Network security.

Security score

61/100

Risk levelMedium

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Alias Design is a small Italian design company specializing in furniture and design furnishings, operating an e-commerce platform built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting consumers interested in Italian furnishings. The technical infrastructure leverages modern CMS technology, integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Doofinder, and employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Hosting appears to be on Amazon AWS infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy and terms policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the business age and type, indicating legitimacy.

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 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Alias Design operates in the retail sector focusing on Italian furniture design, serving a niche market of design-conscious consumers. The business model centers on e-commerce sales and showcasing design projects. The company was founded in 2015, consistent with domain registration. The website content and metadata indicate a clear market positioning as a specialized design company. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is typical for small businesses. The marketing ecosystem includes tracking and search enhancement tools, but no affiliate or partner domains were identified. The lack of explicit contact information and policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, which are positive security practices. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, and no incident response contacts are provided. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces moderate tracking but no obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2, indicating a modern and extensible CMS platform suitable for e-commerce. The presence of Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Doofinder, and Cookiebot scripts shows integration of analytics, user behavior tracking, search enhancement, and cookie consent management. Hosting DNS points to Amazon AWS, a reliable cloud provider. The site appears mobile optimized with responsive design and uses multiple CSS libraries including Bootstrap 5. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with meta description, keywords, canonical links, and hreflang tags. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and policy publications are needed to improve overall maturity.
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.
