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

Exertis AV is a European distributor specializing in professional audio, video, and media technology solutions. With over 35 years of industry experience, the company offers tailored services including product distribution, customer support, planning, and implementation assistance. The website targets professional clients and businesses in the AV technology sector, positioning itself as a leading distributor in Europe. Technically, the website is built on the Sana Commerce platform and integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Piwik PRO, and Dynatrace, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or privacy policies, which lowers its security posture. No contact information or incident response details are readily available, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy, security policies, and contact information to improve trust and compliance.

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

      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 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

Exertis AV operates as a large-scale distributor in the technology sector, focusing on professional audio, video, and media technology products. Its business model centers on B2B distribution with value-added services such as planning support and training. The company leverages its long-standing market presence to maintain a strong position in the European AV market. The website content reflects a focus on professional customers, emphasizing service quality and sustainability initiatives. The use of Sana Commerce suggests an integrated e-commerce approach tailored for business clients. The absence of explicit certifications or social media presence on the site limits visibility into partnerships or broader ecosystem engagement. The company appears to prioritize direct customer relationships and industry expertise as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates potential gaps in defense against common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies, incident response contacts, or security certifications was found, which may hinder effective security incident management and reduce user confidence. The presence of multiple tracking and analytics scripts raises privacy considerations, especially without clear cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policies. Overall, the security maturity appears moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security and privacy policies, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include explicit contact information such as company emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to build trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sana Commerce platform, indicating a specialized e-commerce solution for B2B distribution. It integrates modern analytics and monitoring tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Piwik PRO, and Dynatrace, reflecting a focus on performance monitoring and user behavior analysis. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts, which can improve page load times. CSS and JavaScript appear well-structured, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, there is no explicit information about hosting providers or CDN usage. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more transparent privacy controls.
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.
