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

Bahrain Duty Free operates a comprehensive e-commerce platform specializing in duty free retail products including fragrances, beauty, liquor, tobacco, snacks, electronics, and fashion. The website targets travelers and local shoppers in Bahrain, offering multiple shopping options such as click & collect at airport departures and arrivals, as well as home delivery within Bahrain. The platform is built on Magento and integrates modern web technologies and marketing tools to enhance user experience and business operations. Technically, the website employs a robust Magento infrastructure with RequireJS, jQuery, and various third-party libraries for UI components and analytics. Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA are implemented for tracking and security purposes. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, includes security headers, and uses CAPTCHA on login forms to mitigate automated attacks. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The domain uses privacy protection in WHOIS, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, Bahrain Duty Free presents a professional and trustworthy online retail presence with solid technical and security foundations. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its posture.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Bahrain Duty Free holds a strong market position as a leading duty free retailer in Bahrain, leveraging an e-commerce model to serve travelers and local customers. The business benefits from a broad product portfolio and multiple fulfillment options, including click & collect and home delivery. The integration of social media channels and marketing tools indicates active customer engagement and digital marketing efforts. The platform's Magento base supports scalability and customization, aligning with enterprise retail needs. No direct parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting independent operation. The company emphasizes trust through verified payment logos and policy disclosures, catering to a diverse customer base with age-restricted product controls.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect user authentication processes. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is standard but limits external verification. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but would benefit from enhanced disclosure of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and user responsibilities.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

The site uses Slick Carousel for sliders and Intro.js for guided tours. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness.

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.
