0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website www.apeldoornskanaal.com is a Japanese language informational and affiliate marketing site focused on hair removal and medical hair removal salons in Oita, Japan. It provides detailed content about the benefits of hair removal, local salon rankings, and affiliate links to booking pages. The site targets individuals seeking beauty and hair removal services in the Oita region, primarily women. Technically, the site uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with some external tracking scripts but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices but basic design quality. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance documents such as privacy or cookie policies. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided, limiting user trust and compliance with data protection regulations. The WHOIS lookup failed to return any domain registration data, raising concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate technical maturity and content quality but suffers from significant gaps in privacy compliance, contact transparency, and domain legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and verified domain registration would enhance trust and compliance.

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

The website operates as a niche affiliate marketing platform targeting the hair removal market in Oita, Japan. It leverages detailed local content and affiliate partnerships with salons like TBC to generate revenue. The business model relies on driving traffic to partner sites via affiliate links. The site’s market position is localized and specialized, with no indication of a larger parent company or subsidiaries. The absence of company contact details and registration data suggests a small-scale operation focused on content marketing rather than direct service provision. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple external domains linked for related beauty topics and affiliate programs. Growth potential depends on expanding content quality, improving trust signals, and establishing clearer business identity.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is basic. HTTPS status is unknown due to lack of explicit data, but no insecure content warnings were observed. The site lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The absence of contact information for incident response or data protection officers further weakens security governance. External tracking scripts are used without visible user consent mechanisms, raising privacy concerns. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the provided content, but the lack of security best practices and transparency reduces overall security confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify configuration.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms.
  3. Publish contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident response.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses external scripts for affiliate tracking and analytics but does not employ modern web frameworks or CMS platforms. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). Performance is moderate with no evident heavy resources. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA or accessibility features detected. The site lacks advanced security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the provided data.
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.
