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. 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

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 holds a solid market position in the healthcare sector, focusing on herbal and natural health products. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and retail, supported by educational content and online health tests to engage customers. The website reflects a consistent brand image and international reach. Partnerships with related domains such as avogel.com and avogel-company.ch suggest a structured corporate ecosystem. The presence of a visitor center and product range in multiple countries indicates a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The company leverages digital marketing tools and analytics to optimize user engagement and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics. Third-party scripts are loaded conditionally based on user consent, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy page including incident response contact information.
  2. Add HTTP 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 encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Expand contact information to include direct company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a modern JavaScript-based front-end including jQuery, Slick Carousel for sliders, and Fancybox for modals. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags, while Usercentrics manages cookie consent, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and images. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
