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

Compari.ro is a Romanian e-commerce price comparison platform that aggregates product prices and promotional offers from various online shops. It serves as a shopping guide for consumers seeking the best deals across multiple product categories including electronics, home appliances, fashion, and more. The website is well-structured with clear navigation and a broad product catalog, targeting general consumers in Romania. Technically, the site uses a combination of jQuery, Google Analytics, and custom JavaScript for tracking and UI enhancements. It employs HTTPS with IP anonymization for analytics, indicating a basic level of privacy awareness. However, explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not clearly linked, which could be improved for compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of security headers suggests room for enhancement. Overall, the domain is privacy protected via ROTLD, a common practice in Romania, and the website content and linked domains indicate a legitimate and established business. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, improving privacy policy visibility, and enhancing accessibility features to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Compari.ro operates in the competitive Romanian e-commerce market as a price comparison service, leveraging affiliate marketing to generate revenue. Its extensive category coverage and partnerships with multiple subdomains for checkout and promotions suggest a mature ecosystem. The business model focuses on driving traffic to partner shops through detailed product listings and promotional offers. The platform targets a broad consumer base seeking convenience and cost savings. While no direct company registration or contact details are publicly available, the website's professional presentation and integration with known brands and payment partners support its credibility. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding marketing tools, enhancing user engagement, and formalizing compliance documentation to meet evolving regulatory standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Google Analytics configured for IP anonymization. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for improvement to mitigate common web threats. The absence of a visible security or incident response policy and no dedicated abuse or security contact channels may limit the site's readiness to handle security incidents effectively. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent mechanisms but lacks comprehensive privacy policy documentation. Enhancing these areas would improve the overall security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish and publicize incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels to build trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack centered around jQuery 1.9.0, Google Analytics, and custom JavaScript for tracking and UI functionality. The CSS is responsive, supporting mobile devices well. The site loads external resources from static subdomains, indicating a separation of static content delivery. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading of images. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The absence of modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced frontend technologies may indicate technical debt or a conservative approach to development. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack with newer frameworks, improve performance optimization, and enhance SEO and accessibility features to maintain competitiveness and operational efficiency.
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.
