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

8 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

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

Answear.com holds a strong market position as a multi-country European online fashion retailer with a large product catalog and premium brand partnerships. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce with fast delivery and loyalty incentives. The company leverages partnerships with logistics and marketing service providers to optimize operations. The extensive categorization and multi-language support indicate a mature platform designed for scalability and customer convenience. Growth potential is supported by continuous collaboration with fashion experts and influencers. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. Use of reputable CDN and service workers enhances security and performance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of publicly accessible security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The integration of third-party marketing and analytics tools requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by formalizing security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the homepage to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add explicit terms of service and security policy pages to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with Webpack bundling and service worker support for offline capabilities. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Braze for analytics and marketing automation. Hosting is supported by Akamai CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preconnect hints for performance. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is fast with good resource loading strategies. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of DNSSEC.
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.
