Aqua-Techniques is a French retailer specializing in ecological water treatment and filtration solutions, distributing exclusive brands such as Doulton, British Berkefeld, and Sprite Showers. The company targets environmentally conscious consumers seeking water purification products for domestic use. Their website is built on the Oxatis e-commerce platform with AngularJS frontend, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information including a dedicated phone number and contact page. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and secure payment indicators, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and business presentation appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, Aqua-Techniques demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for enhanced security and compliance transparency.

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

7 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

    • 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 company operates in the retail sector focusing on water filtration and ecological treatment products. It holds exclusive distribution rights for several reputable brands, positioning itself as a niche player in the French market. The business model centers on e-commerce sales supported by customer advisory services. The website reflects a small-sized enterprise with consistent branding and good content quality. Marketing efforts leverage Google advertising and analytics platforms. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap but does not detract from the apparent legitimacy of the business operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and displays secure payment logos, indicating a baseline security standard. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses secure forms for login and account creation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing comprehensive security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures, including detailed cookie and data retention policies.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses the Oxatis e-commerce platform with AngularJS 1.3.15 for frontend rendering. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ads for marketing and analytics. The site employs Bootstrap grid for responsive design and includes custom CSS and JavaScript for UI components. Performance is moderate with some potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but functional. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is somewhat dated due to AngularJS 1.x usage but remains functional for the site's scope.
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.
