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

2 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. 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.

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

Artforum is an established player in the Slovak online retail bookstore sector, offering diverse product categories that cater to a broad audience. Its competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive catalog and a strong digital presence supported by modern marketing and analytics tools. The company leverages partnerships with third-party services like Luigi's Box for personalization and recommendations. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales. The target customer segments include general readers, audiobook listeners, and consumers of digital media. Growth indicators include active cookie consent management and integration of advanced tracking and personalization technologies. The company maintains a consistent brand image and demonstrates a commitment to privacy and user experience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers (implied), and integration of Sentry for real-time error monitoring. Cookie consent is granular and compliant with GDPR, covering technical, analytical, and marketing cookies with user choice. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site should enhance security headers and publish explicit security documentation to improve trust and compliance further.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Vue.js for frontend templating, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, and Sentry for error tracking. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site loads multiple scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. The presence of Luigi's Box scripts indicates advanced autocomplete and recommendation functionalities. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly e-commerce experience.
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.
