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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Security headers

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.hu operates a large-scale e-commerce business focused on fashion retail, with a multi-market European presence. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a wide range of premium brands and products, supported by a loyalty club and free shipping incentives. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, targeting fashion-conscious consumers across genders and age groups. The company demonstrates strong brand consistency and market penetration, supported by a comprehensive product catalog and regional websites. Partnerships with global brands and use of advanced marketing tools suggest a strategic approach to customer engagement and retention. Growth indicators include multi-language support and app availability on major platforms.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of service workers for enhanced performance and security. Marketing and analytics integrations are present but do not expose sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the analyzed content. The site lacks a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for an e-commerce platform but with potential for strengthening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable and configure Sentry or equivalent error monitoring in production for proactive issue detection.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.

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.
