Risk levelMedium

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

ARVA is a medium-sized company specializing in the design, development, and sale of avalanche safety equipment including transceivers, airbags, shovels, and probes. With a claimed 40 years of expertise, ARVA positions itself as a trusted brand in the snow safety industry, targeting mountain sports enthusiasts and professionals. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides detailed product and service information, including maintenance, rental, and cartridge refill services. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including Prestashop CMS, React/Next.js, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Sendinblue. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices observed, though explicit security headers and policies are lacking. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and reduces trust from a domain legitimacy perspective.

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. 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 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

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

ARVA operates in the niche market of avalanche safety equipment, leveraging decades of experience and collaboration with mountain rescuers to innovate its product line. The business model includes direct online sales and after-sales services such as maintenance and rentals, indicating diversified revenue streams. The presence of regional partner domains for the US and Canada suggests international market reach. The company targets safety-conscious outdoor adventurers and professionals, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative brand. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a high trust level among its audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of security tokens in AJAX calls. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with better header configurations and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Review and audit third-party scripts regularly to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Prestashop CMS with React/Next.js components, integrating modern JavaScript libraries and marketing tools. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and caching mechanisms. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be enhanced with structured data and richer metadata. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
