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

4 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 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 education and manufacturing sectors, focusing on school furniture and learning space solutions. Its business model revolves around product manufacturing and direct sales to educational institutions. The website indicates a well-structured product catalog and a clear navigation system, supporting customer engagement and sales. Partnerships with job portals and educational event sites suggest active market engagement. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main page suggests a preference for contact forms, possibly to manage inquiries efficiently. The company benefits from a long-established domain and consistent branding, reinforcing its credibility in the market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable hosting provider, which supports a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent is implemented with high privacy settings using tarteaucitron.js, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that should be addressed. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which could hinder transparency and trust in security matters. The disabled Google Tag Manager due to cookie consent issues suggests ongoing compliance improvements. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for enhancement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and the Pimcore CMS platform. It employs Cloudflare DNS and is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, a reputable German hosting provider. The site features responsive design and a slick carousel for content presentation. Cookie consent is managed by tarteaucitron.js with high privacy settings. Google Tag Manager is present but currently disabled due to cookie consent issues, indicating ongoing compliance adjustments. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and canonical links. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
