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

7 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Dampfplanet holds a solid position in the German vaping retail market, leveraging a broad product range and multiple well-known brands. Its business model focuses on direct online sales with a user-friendly shopping experience. The presence of industry awards and structured product categories indicates a competitive advantage and customer trust. The company targets mature consumers with vaping interests, offering starter kits, DIY supplies, and accessories. While no direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, the site provides login and registration forms, suggesting a customer account system. The use of Matomo analytics and Luigisbox autocomplete reflects investment in user experience and privacy. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data and consistent registrant information further supports business legitimacy.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS encryption, secure login forms including CSRF tokens, and standard security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Content-Type-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site could improve by implementing a Content-Security-Policy header and publishing a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information. The use of third-party scripts like Luigisbox and Matomo is common but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security measures are adequate for an e-commerce platform but have room for enhancement to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers for customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the JTL Shop CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Luigisbox autocomplete for enhanced user interaction. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-focused visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes proper meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate with some deferred script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure is stable and modern, supporting a professional e-commerce experience. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, contributing to secure communications.
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.
