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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

eBay maintains a dominant position in the global and Italian e-commerce market by offering a versatile marketplace that caters to both individual sellers and businesses. Its business model focuses on facilitating transactions rather than direct retail, generating revenue through listing fees, commissions, and partnerships such as with PayPal for payment processing. The company targets a wide demographic, including casual buyers, collectors, and professional sellers. The presence of comprehensive legal and privacy documentation indicates strong regulatory compliance, particularly with GDPR. eBay's ecosystem includes partnerships with payment processors and extensive use of analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and conversion rates. The platform's scalability and brand recognition provide competitive advantages in the crowded e-commerce space.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, implementation of multiple security headers including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and secure handling of user inputs in forms. However, there is no publicly accessible dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could enhance transparency and trust. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly provided, which is a minor gap in security readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site follows best practices for cookie consent and privacy compliance, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, eBay Italy demonstrates a mature security environment suitable for an enterprise-level e-commerce platform.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide explicit incident response and abuse contact channels to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards for inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Node.js, ensuring a responsive and dynamic user experience. Hosting on Amazon AWS provides reliable infrastructure and scalability. The site is well optimized for performance with fast loading times and mobile responsiveness. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is good but could be improved further. The use of proprietary CMS and extensive custom styling indicates significant investment in user experience design. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts.
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.
