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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Bulk Nutrients targets fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers primarily in Australia, operating a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model. Their competitive advantages include Australian-based manufacturing, a wide product range, and a strong brand reputation evidenced by customer reviews and industry awards. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of supplements and related products. The company maintains a rewards program to enhance customer loyalty. Partnerships include select gym chains for product availability. The business demonstrates growth and digital maturity through its use of modern web technologies and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicate compliance with GDPR and Australian privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file was found, which could enhance trust and security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance visibility of company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

The website is built on a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, which supports fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with explicit ARIA roles and labels. The site uses Umami analytics for user tracking, balancing data collection with privacy considerations. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and operational stability.
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.
