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

Darel is a small retail e-commerce business specializing in household appliance spare parts and electronic components. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of products categorized by appliance type and component, targeting consumers and businesses needing replacement parts. The site is built on the PrestaShop platform and integrates common technologies such as Google Analytics and Tawk.to live chat for customer engagement and analytics. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and product presentation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and standard security headers, though privacy compliance could be improved by adding cookie consent and multilingual privacy policies. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally maintained but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

    • 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

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

Darel operates in the niche market of household appliance spare parts retail, leveraging an e-commerce model to reach a broad audience including end consumers and repair professionals. The company emphasizes a wide product range with detailed categorization, supporting worldwide shipping. The business model focuses on online sales with no visible physical store information. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit direct customer trust but is mitigated by a contact form and live chat. The company does not display certifications or security policies publicly, which could be a competitive disadvantage. The use of structured data and SEO best practices suggests a focus on digital marketing and organic search visibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes several important security headers, indicating a baseline security awareness. Forms include CSRF tokens, reducing risk of cross-site request forgery. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy disclosures indicate gaps in compliance with GDPR and related privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which may impact trustworthiness from a security perspective. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be improved with enhanced privacy and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy laws.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy in all supported site languages, including English.
  3. Add terms of service and security incident response policies to increase transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, utilizing common web technologies including jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. The site uses Tawk.to for live chat support, indicating customer engagement capabilities. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected in the provided HTML content. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly e-commerce experience.
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.
