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

Ariete Store is the official Italian e-commerce platform for Ariete, a brand specializing in small household appliances. The website offers a variety of products for kitchen, cleaning, and coffee preparation, targeting Italian consumers. The business model is retail-focused with an emphasis on direct online sales and customer service via phone. The site integrates modern marketing and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and third-party review widgets, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers and policies are not explicitly visible. The absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service pages is a notable gap in compliance documentation. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

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 positions itself as the official Ariete brand store in Italy, leveraging brand recognition and direct-to-consumer sales. Its competitive advantage lies in offering authentic products with promotions and free shipping over a threshold. The business targets household consumers seeking small appliances, with a medium-sized operation indicated by the website's content and infrastructure. Partnerships with Klarna for payment processing and use of multiple advertising platforms suggest a well-integrated marketing ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by digital marketing investments and customer review integrations. However, the lack of visible privacy and terms documentation could impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot, allowing granular user control. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and readiness perception. Data protection practices appear standard, with no exposed sensitive data detected. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not fully documented due to missing privacy policy visibility. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers, published policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Add explicit contact emails for security and data protection inquiries, including a data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap CSS for responsive design and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and search optimization. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with detailed categorization and user controls. The site loads asynchronously many scripts from trusted domains, indicating good performance practices. However, the CMS or backend platform is not explicitly identified. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format for organization and website schema. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party script loading and caching strategies. Accessibility features are basic but present.
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.
