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

Dosenbach is a well-established Swiss retailer specializing in footwear, accessories, and sports articles for the whole family. The website targets a broad general audience with a focus on affordable fashion and convenience, including in-store returns. It operates under the parent company Deichmann SE, a major player in the European footwear market. The site demonstrates a consistent brand presence and good content quality, supporting its retail business model effectively. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies such as Angular framework, web fonts, and structured data (JSON-LD) to enhance SEO and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and shows good performance characteristics, although some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and uses best practices like crossorigin attributes for fonts and a manifest file for progressive web app capabilities. However, it lacks explicit security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could be a gap in security transparency. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website's business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, slightly reduces the overall compliance and user confidence scores. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance the website's security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

3 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 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Dosenbach holds a strong market position in the Swiss retail footwear sector, leveraging its affiliation with Deichmann SE. The business model centers on e-commerce combined with physical store presence, offering a wide range of products for men, women, and children. The company benefits from brand recognition, a broad product catalog, and customer-friendly policies such as easy returns. The website's partnership with Deichmann-related domains indicates a robust ecosystem supporting logistics and inventory. Growth indicators include multi-language support and a focus on top brands. However, the lack of visible contact and compliance information online may impact customer trust and regulatory adherence. The company could benefit from enhanced transparency and digital marketing tools to strengthen its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of modern web standards. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts limit transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits marketing insights. Overall, the security posture is good but could be significantly improved by adding explicit security policies, headers, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  4. Integrate consent management platform to handle cookie consent and tracking transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework, leveraging modern CSS variables and web fonts for styling and performance. It uses JSON-LD structured data for SEO enhancement and includes a web app manifest for PWA capabilities. The site preconnects to related domains for performance optimization. The technical implementation is solid with good mobile optimization and responsive design. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO metadata completeness. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts were found, indicating minimal tracking but also limited marketing data collection.
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.
