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

      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. 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

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 e-commerce fashion retailer with a focus on premium brands and fast delivery. Its business model centers on direct online sales supported by loyalty programs and extensive brand partnerships. The company targets fashion-conscious consumers across demographics, including women, men, and children. The presence of dedicated domains for payment processing and physical store concepts indicates a diversified operational ecosystem. The company’s longevity since 2008 and consistent domain registration data support its credibility. Strategic partnerships with payment providers and logistics enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. The business leverages digital marketing extensively, as evidenced by integrated analytics and retargeting services.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, multiple security headers, and bot protection via reCAPTCHA. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security robustness. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of modern JavaScript frameworks and service workers is positive but requires ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement a security.txt file at the root domain to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and marketing tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, leveraging modern JavaScript and service workers for offline capabilities and performance optimization. Hosting is via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The site uses Google Tag Manager, Braze for marketing automation, Hotjar for user behavior analytics, and Criteo for retargeting, indicating a sophisticated marketing stack. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and app integration for Android and iOS. SEO is well implemented with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Performance is fast due to CDN and optimized assets. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring is advised due to the complexity of third-party integrations.
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.
