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. 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"

  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 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

atalanda operates in the competitive German e-commerce market, leveraging a large product catalog and partnerships with reputable retailers. Its strong customer base and positive reviews indicate a solid market position. The business model focuses on aggregating diverse product categories to attract a wide audience. Revenue streams likely include direct sales and affiliate partnerships, as indicated by the use of Adcell affiliate network. The platform's integration with Stripe suggests streamlined payment processing. The presence of detailed privacy and cookie policies reflects compliance with EU regulations, enhancing customer trust. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand image and invests in marketing tools such as EmbedSocial for reviews. Growth indicators include frequent promotions and seasonal campaigns (e.g., Halloween, Autumn fashion). Strategic partnerships with local retailers and suppliers strengthen its market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and use of Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 to mitigate automated abuse. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers via clientTransferProhibited status. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. Security headers are not fully visible in the HTML but may be configured server-side. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file limits vulnerability disclosure options. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could improve by publishing incident response details and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options if not already configured.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) and integrates with Stripe for payment processing, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical infrastructure. Content is delivered via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, improving performance and reliability. The site includes accessibility features and responsive design for mobile users. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of Google reCAPTCHA protects against automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC and limited visible security headers suggest some technical security improvements are possible. Performance is moderate, likely due to the large product catalog and rich media content. Overall, the technical stack supports a robust e-commerce experience with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
