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. 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

ECC holds a strong market position in New Zealand as an exclusive distributor of premium lighting and furniture brands. Their business model focuses on retail and showroom sales supported by an e-commerce platform. The company targets both residential consumers and professional clients requiring commercial lighting and furniture solutions. The website content and product catalog reflect a curated and high-end product offering. Integration with Shopify and HubSpot indicates a mature digital marketing and sales infrastructure. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests room for improvement in compliance and transparency. ECC's established domain age and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its credibility in the market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes multiple security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, indicating adherence to security best practices. The use of Cloudflare for DNS and CDN adds an additional layer of protection and performance enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and preparedness communication. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from improved policy disclosures and DNS security hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to demonstrate security readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with Shopify as the e-commerce backend. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site includes integrations with HubSpot for marketing automation and analytics, as well as Facebook Pixel for tracking and retargeting. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times. The technical infrastructure is robust and supports the business model effectively, though improvements in accessibility and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
