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 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 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

  3. 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
    • 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

AOC operates in the technology sector, focusing on display hardware for both consumer and business markets. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and retailing monitors and related accessories, with a strong emphasis on gaming and SMB segments. The company leverages a global distribution network, evident from the extensive regional website versions. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, partnerships, and possibly affiliate marketing. The brand maintains competitive advantages through certifications, warranty offerings, and a broad product portfolio. Partnerships with esports teams and events, while not explicitly detailed here, are suggested by references to gaming teams. The company shows growth orientation through innovation in connectivity and sustainability. The website's multi-language support and regional targeting indicate a mature global strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided data, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is extensive, which may raise privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack based on React 18, supported by multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided by Alibaba Cloud, a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and language alternates for global reach. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to improve security posture. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but has room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
