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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

Annabelle operates in the media sector, focusing on lifestyle content for a Swiss audience. Its business model revolves around content publishing and advertising, leveraging partnerships with advertising networks like Microsoft Advertising and tracking services for audience insights. The site shows consistent branding and quality content, appealing to a broad demographic interested in fashion, beauty, and social topics. The absence of direct contact information and formal policies suggests room for growth in user engagement and compliance maturity. The use of third-party widgets and cloud services indicates a reliance on external platforms for enhanced user experience and content delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through Cookiebot, but the absence of a detailed privacy policy is a gap. The site would benefit from publishing security documentation and enhancing accessibility features to strengthen its security culture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress using the Station Modular theme, with integrations including Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics, and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Images are optimized and delivered via Cloudinary, enhancing performance. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices but could improve accessibility. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of multiple CDN and third-party services suggests a distributed infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through further optimization and monitoring.
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.
