0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Chrono.lv is a specialized online retailer focusing on Swiss luxury watches, fine jewelry, and luxury mobile phones such as Vertu. Established since 2010, it targets affluent customers seeking high-end timepieces and jewelry primarily in the European market. The website presents a professional e-commerce platform with a broad catalog of luxury brands and related services including watch selling, exchange, and repair. Technically, the site uses PHP sessions, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and a cookie consent solution to comply with privacy regulations. The design is responsive and user-friendly, supporting multiple languages and currencies. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers and incident response policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the site content and contact information suggest a legitimate business. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing explicit privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the site is a credible luxury retail platform with room for security and compliance improvements.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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 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

Chrono.lv operates in the niche luxury retail sector, focusing on Swiss watches and fine jewelry. Its competitive advantage lies in a curated selection of prestigious brands and a decade-long market presence. The business model is direct online sales complemented by watch repair and trade-in services. The target customers are luxury consumers and collectors in Europe, supported by multilingual site versions. Partnerships with platforms like Dalder.lv indicate a broader ecosystem for luxury goods. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, trade-ins, and repair services. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages social media for customer engagement. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product catalog and active customer service channels. Strategic observations suggest enhancing privacy policies and security disclosures to strengthen trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a detailed cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies by purpose and duration. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is partial, as no explicit privacy policy was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on PHP with session management and uses modern front-end technologies including responsive CSS and SVG graphics. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site supports multiple languages and currencies, indicating a mature internationalization approach. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could modernize the infrastructure further. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional e-commerce experience with potential for enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
