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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. 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';…

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Apart operates in the retail sector focusing on jewellery and watches, targeting consumers across various demographics including women, men, kids, and teenagers. The business model is primarily e-commerce supplemented by physical stores. The brand maintains a strong market position in Europe with localized websites for Poland, Czech Republic, and other markets. Key competitive advantages include a broad product catalog, recognized brands, and integration of visual search and personalized recommendations. Revenue streams are driven by direct online sales and in-store purchases. The partnership ecosystem includes regional sites and third-party marketing and analytics providers. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for enhanced security transparency and accessibility improvements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Forms include CSRF tokens, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected during analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  2. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to prevent potential security vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for data protection officer or privacy inquiries.
  5. Implement more detailed transparency on data retention policies and user data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js for frontend templating, Swiper.js for UI components, and integrates advanced marketing tools such as Luigisbox recommendations and Syte visual search. Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK are used for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preconnects to key external resources for performance. While the CMS is not explicitly identified, the structure suggests a custom or proprietary e-commerce platform. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic and could be improved.
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.
