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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Bruna holds a significant position in the Dutch retail book market, offering a comprehensive product range and seasonal promotions to engage customers. The business model is primarily e-commerce retail supplemented by physical stores. The website content and structure reflect a customer-centric approach with bestseller lists and curated collections. The use of multiple marketing and tracking technologies suggests a focus on data-driven customer engagement and conversion optimization. However, the absence of visible contact details and formal privacy documentation may impact customer trust and compliance perception. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and leverages partnerships with known publishers and brands.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), and cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but common for retail sites; however, continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these dependencies is recommended. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by publishing formal security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Provide clear and verified contact information including customer support and security incident contacts.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Cookiebot for consent management, and Mouseflow for user behavior analytics. The site appears to be mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, but the site structure and URLs suggest a custom or enterprise-grade platform. SEO practices are good with meta tags and structured data for products. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content. Technical risks include dependency on multiple external scripts which require ongoing security management.
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.
