Security report for dhgate.com

Other · N/a

Medium risk. 8 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.

Security score

66/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.dhgate.com is currently inaccessible due to an access denied error page served by a security mechanism, likely a Web Application Firewall (WAF). This prevents any meaningful extraction of website content, metadata, or business information. The WHOIS lookup also failed to return any registrar or registrant data, indicating either a domain registration issue or privacy protection that is not disclosed. Consequently, the technical infrastructure and digital maturity cannot be assessed, and no security posture evaluation beyond the detection of blocking mechanisms is possible. Overall, the site presents a high risk due to lack of transparency and accessibility.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Due to the absence of accessible content and WHOIS data, no reliable business intelligence can be derived. The domain appears to be registered but with no public WHOIS information, which is unusual for a major e-commerce platform. No information on market positioning, business model, or partnerships is available from the provided data.

Security posture

The security posture cannot be fully evaluated because the site is blocked by a WAF or similar security control, and no HTTP headers or SSL configuration details are available. The presence of an access denied page suggests some level of security enforcement, but the lack of transparency and inability to access the site content or metadata is a concern. No security policies, incident response contacts, or certifications were found.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve the access denial issue to allow legitimate users and security analysts to access the website content for proper evaluation.
  2. Ensure WHOIS data is correctly registered and publicly accessible to improve domain transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and verify standard security headers and HTTPS configuration to enhance security posture.
  4. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and security policies to demonstrate compliance and build user trust.
  5. Establish and disclose incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to improve security culture.
Site observations

Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Generic detected. Access Denied page with minimal HTML content and reference to edgesuite.net error URL indicates a WAF or security blocking mechanism. These observations may be incomplete. For a fuller analysis, contact guard@offseq.com.

Key observations

  1. Website content is inaccessible due to access denial by a security mechanism.
  2. WHOIS data is unavailable or not publicly accessible, limiting domain trust analysis.
  3. No metadata, structured data, or contact information could be extracted.
  4. No visible scripts, forms, or external links except an error reference domain.
  5. Security posture cannot be properly assessed due to lack of content and headers.
  6. Content safety is rated safe by default due to absence of content.
Technical notes

Notes

The technical analysis is severely limited due to the access denied page and lack of HTML content beyond a minimal error message. No scripts, meta tags, or technology indicators were found. The domain's hosting provider and CMS cannot be identified. Performance, SEO, and accessibility cannot be assessed. The presence of an edgesuite.net error reference suggests use of Akamai CDN or similar edge security services.
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.
