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

8 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. 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The company operates in the e-commerce sector focusing on vaping products, a niche but growing market segment. Its competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive product range and clear categorization, supported by a user-friendly interface and GDPR-compliant data collection practices. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of vaping hardware and consumables. The target customer segment is adult vapers in Germany. The partnership with VNEN Uhren suggests some cross-promotional activities. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, with potential for expansion through enhanced marketing and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information visible, which are important for transparency and trust. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not confirmed and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site uses third-party scripts like Usercentrics and PayPal Unified, which should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be improved with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider adding social media presence and verified contact emails to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of Usercentrics for cookie consent and PayPal Unified for payment processing. Hosting is managed by Timme Hosting, a reputable German provider. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The CMS or e-commerce platform is not explicitly identified but appears custom or based on a known framework. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by implementing security headers and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
