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

BAUHAUS Danmark A/S operates as Denmark's largest hardware retail chain, offering a comprehensive range of building materials, tools, and home improvement products both online and through physical stores. The website reflects a mature e-commerce platform with extensive product listings, user-friendly navigation, and integrated services such as store locators and customer support. The company targets both professional and private customers within Denmark, positioning itself as a market leader in the retail hardware sector. Technically, the website is built on Magento 2, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks like RequireJS and KnockoutJS, and integrates advanced search capabilities via Algolia. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, along with New Relic for performance monitoring. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with a clean and professional design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and utilizes several security best practices, including cookie consent mechanisms and reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, and there is no security.txt file. The site shows no signs of WAF or blocking, indicating full accessibility. Overall, BAUHAUS.dk presents a trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained online presence with strong business credibility and compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security transparency and accessibility features.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

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

BAUHAUS holds a strong market position as Denmark's largest hardware store, serving both business and private customers. Its business model combines e-commerce with physical retail locations, supported by services like montageservice and click & collect. The company leverages partnerships with major brands and employs advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. The presence of a high volume of product impressions and detailed product data indicates a robust inventory and active sales strategy. Trust indicators such as a high Trustpilot rating and clear contact information reinforce its market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA, and integration of security monitoring tools like New Relic. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Regular audits of third-party scripts and implementation of comprehensive security headers would further strengthen the security framework.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust Magento 2 platform, utilizing RequireJS for module loading and KnockoutJS for UI bindings. It integrates Algolia for search, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site employs modern web standards, responsive design, and lazy loading techniques for images and scripts. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for optimization in resource loading and accessibility. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and feature-rich e-commerce experience, though continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
