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

3 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 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

  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

Bosch is a large multinational manufacturing company with a strong presence in the home appliance sector. The Canadian site reflects a premium market positioning with a focus on quality and innovation. The business model includes direct online sales, customer support, and engagement through MyBosch accounts. The company leverages partnerships with Bosch Canada and the global Bosch home site. The website content and structure support a seamless customer journey from product discovery to purchase and support. The presence of Consumer Reports endorsement and detailed buying guides enhances credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and cookie consent management. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No security.txt file or dedicated security contact was found. The site would benefit from publishing these policies to improve trust and compliance with best practices. Overall, the security risk is low but could be improved with better communication of security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Adobe DTM for analytics, Fredhopper for search suggestions, and ConsentManager for cookie compliance. It uses responsive design with WebP images for performance optimization. The CMS appears to be SAP Hybris or a similar enterprise e-commerce platform. The site loads moderately fast and is accessible with good SEO practices. There is no indication of legacy or vulnerable technologies. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and further optimize performance metrics.
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.
