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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

The business operates in the retail sector with a focus on religious and regional products, leveraging a physical store and an online platform. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized product range and deep local roots. Revenue streams include direct sales of books, religious items, and gifts. The target customers are religious communities, local residents, and tourists. The company maintains an active social media presence and uses structured data to enhance search visibility. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital marketing and enhancing privacy compliance. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and anti-spam measures in place. However, the absence of visible security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement. There are no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. GDPR compliance is partially addressed but could be enhanced by implementing cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting a potential gap in transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance website performance monitoring and optimize loading times for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery UI for autocomplete search functionality. Image lazy loading is implemented via Blazy, and Slick Carousel is used for sliders. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained.
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.
