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

Edda útgáfa is an Icelandic e-commerce business specializing in the sale of Disney-themed children's books and magazines. The website serves as an online retail platform offering a variety of products including books, magazines, and audio book subscriptions targeted primarily at children and families. The company maintains a physical presence in Reykjavík, Iceland, and provides clear contact information, enhancing its credibility. Technically, the website is built on the LiSA CMS platform and incorporates standard web technologies including JavaScript and Google Analytics for user tracking. While the site is functional and professionally designed, it lacks important privacy and cookie policies, and does not implement security headers, which are critical for modern web security. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective, though the website content and contact details suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with room for improvement in security and privacy 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

9 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

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 company operates in the retail sector with a niche focus on children's literature and Disney-branded content, positioning itself as a specialized Icelandic publisher and retailer. Its business model revolves around direct online sales and subscription services, targeting families and children. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as andresond.is and mbl.is, which provide complementary subscription services and audio content. The website's clear product listings, pricing, and subscription options indicate a customer-centric approach. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to be small in size with a focused market presence in Iceland.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No forms with sensitive data collection were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate risk exposure. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy was found, raising GDPR compliance concerns. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and may warrant further investigation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish terms of service and security incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience across devices.
  5. Investigate domain WHOIS data unavailability and consider registering domain information publicly to increase trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the LiSA CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid with meta tags for content type and description, though Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data is absent. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO optimization is basic with meta descriptions but no advanced structured data. The site lacks modern security headers and privacy compliance features. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
