City Outlet is an online e-commerce retailer specializing in discounted consumer products, targeting a general audience with a business model focused on daily deals and free shipping. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses popular marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. The technical infrastructure is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, but some security best practices like DNSSEC and advanced security headers are missing. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks published security policies or incident response information. WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a future domain creation date and registrar location mismatch, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and safe for general users but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and clearer business contact information.

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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
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"
This scan found 20 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a discount online retailer with a focus on unique products inspired by customer feedback. It claims over 20,000 customers and offers promotions such as 50% discounts and free shipping. The business operates in the e-commerce sector, likely as a small-sized entity founded around 2017. The website does not provide detailed company registration or VAT information, nor does it list subsidiaries or parent companies. The marketing ecosystem includes Facebook and Microsoft analytics tools, indicating an active digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and has domain status clientTransferProhibited, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no Content-Security-Policy or other advanced security headers are detected. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. The WHOIS data inconsistencies further reduce trust in the domain's legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical controls.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
Deploy Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Provide clear and verifiable contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building. It uses the Astra theme and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is provided by HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Performance is moderate with no major errors detected. However, the site lacks some accessibility features and advanced security headers. The WHOIS data shows suspicious domain registration details that should be investigated further.
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.
