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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

BABOR holds a strong market position as a luxury skincare brand with a focus on e-commerce sales in Germany. The business model centers on direct-to-consumer online retail, supported by personalized services such as skin analysis and expert consultations. Revenue streams include product sales, gift sets, and loyalty programs. The company leverages a comprehensive marketing ecosystem including Google Ads, Exactag, and Usercentrics for consent management. The target customer segment is consumers seeking premium skincare solutions. The brand maintains consistent and professional content, reinforcing trust and customer loyalty. Strategic partnerships with social media platforms and marketing tools enhance brand visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism indicates GDPR compliance efforts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve security transparency. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional hardening measures and documented incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all users.
  4. Maintain regular audits of third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Consider publishing incident response and data protection officer contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a proprietary CMS with modern JavaScript components and Bootstrap 4 for responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics for consent management, Exactag and Trbo for marketing, and Emarsys for email marketing. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack supports a professional e-commerce experience 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.
