Risk levelMedium

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

ALSO A/S operates a large B2B e-commerce platform specializing in IT hardware, software, and services distribution primarily in Denmark. The company supports a vast ecosystem of approximately 120,000 resellers and over 700 suppliers, offering products across more than 1450 categories. The website is professionally designed with a clear focus on B2B customers, featuring extensive navigation and supplier-specific microsites. Technically, the site employs a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and custom Pegasos framework components, alongside advanced analytics and consent management tools. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and cookie consent managed via Usercentrics, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust assessment. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for a large IT distributor but could improve transparency and security practices.

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.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

ALSO A/S holds a strong market position as a major European IT distributor with a broad supplier and reseller network. Their business model centers on B2B distribution and value-added IT services, including cloud marketplace offerings. The company targets IT resellers and professional customers, leveraging partnerships with leading technology vendors such as HP, HPE, Dell, and others. The website's extensive campaign and product microsites indicate active marketing and supplier engagement. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies suggests areas for operational transparency improvement. The presence of Usercentrics CMP and multiple tracking tools reflects compliance efforts and marketing sophistication.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent management platform, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting external reporting channels. The use of multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels increases the attack surface and necessitates regular security audits. The missing WHOIS data also raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing best practices and improving policy visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including security incident contacts (e.g., security@also.com, abuse@also.com).
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform (cms5) with a robust front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Modernizr, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. The integration of Usercentrics CMP demonstrates GDPR compliance efforts. Analytics are comprehensive, leveraging Webtrekk, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating advanced marketing and user behavior tracking capabilities. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential improvements for inclusive design. The extensive navigation structure supports a complex product and supplier ecosystem but may benefit from further UX enhancements to improve clarity and ease of use.
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.
