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

7 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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"

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

CDON AB's business model centers on a marketplace platform that aggregates a diverse product range targeting Nordic consumers. The company benefits from a large market share in the region, leveraging partnerships and a broad product offering to attract customers. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, marketplace commissions, and advertising. The presence of detailed privacy and cookie policies, along with customer service access, indicates a customer-centric approach. The company’s use of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a data-driven strategy to optimize user engagement and sales. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and transparent registrant information further supports trustworthiness. Strategic partnerships with content providers and logistics services likely underpin operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive, allowing users granular control over tracking and data processing, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, explicit security policy and incident response information are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene appropriate for a large e-commerce platform but could enhance trust by publishing formal security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or abuse email to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing certifications or trust badges related to security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js), enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. Hosting and DNS services are managed via Cloudflare, providing resilience and security benefits. The site integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics for user behavior tracking and Didomi for consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses a custom or headless CMS approach, as no common CMS signatures were detected. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO metadata completeness and to streamline third-party script loading for faster page loads. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and secure e-commerce experience.
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.
