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

4 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

    • 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.

    • 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

  • 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

The company operates in the retail sector focusing on office furniture in Malta. Their business model revolves around direct sales and quote requests via their WooCommerce-powered website. The presence of a request-a-quote plugin indicates a B2B sales approach. The company maintains active social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, supporting brand visibility and customer engagement. Their product range is diverse, covering desks, seating, acoustic solutions, and outdoor furniture, catering to various office needs. The website content and structured data suggest a small-sized enterprise with a clear market position as a local leader. Partnerships with digital agencies like 9H Digital are evident from footer credits. The company emphasizes quality and design, targeting professional office environments.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of several security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy reduces the overall security posture. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is found, limiting transparency for security researchers. AJAX calls include nonce parameters, indicating some protection against CSRF attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses popular and regularly updated plugins, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing additional headers and formal vulnerability disclosure policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate XSS and data injection attacks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to improve protection against clickjacking and information leakage.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
