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

COMPO is a well-established German brand specializing in gardening products and plant care solutions, targeting consumers ranging from novice gardeners to experienced plant enthusiasts. The website provides product information, gardening advice, and inspiration content, positioning itself as a trusted resource in the gardening retail sector within Germany. The digital infrastructure is built on modern web technologies including Next.js and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics and advertising, such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Meta Pixel. Cookiebot is employed to manage GDPR-compliant cookie consent, reflecting a commitment to privacy regulations. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and no visible security headers or explicit security policies published. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, but the absence of explicit privacy and security policies and contact information represents an area for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, user-friendly, and trustworthy for its target audience.

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

COMPO operates primarily in the retail sector focused on gardening products and services. Its market positioning leverages brand recognition in Germany with a business model centered on product sales and customer engagement through educational content. The company utilizes a multi-channel marketing approach incorporating major advertising networks and tracking technologies to optimize user engagement and advertising effectiveness. The absence of detailed company contact information and legal disclosures on the website suggests potential gaps in transparency. The integration of Cookiebot and adherence to GDPR cookie consent requirements indicate awareness of regulatory compliance. The website's partnership ecosystem includes major advertising and analytics providers but no direct business partner domains were identified in the content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced as indicated by canonical URLs, but no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided content. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risk, though Cookiebot manages user consent effectively. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The lack of direct contact channels for security incidents or data protection officer information limits incident response readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and security policies including GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, notably Next.js, which supports server-side rendering and improved performance. The presence of numerous deferred JavaScript chunks indicates modular code splitting for optimized loading. Fonts are loaded from fonts.net, and Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Hotjar, Outbrain, Meta Pixel, and Pinterest tracking. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and accessibility considerations, though accessibility is rated basic. Performance is moderate, likely due to the volume of third-party scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML content. There is an opportunity to improve technical SEO and accessibility further by adding ARIA roles and semantic HTML enhancements.
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.
