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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Einhell positions itself as a leading manufacturer and retailer of power tools and garden equipment with a broad international footprint. The Costa Rica site is part of a global network of localized domains, indicating a strong market strategy focused on regional adaptation. The business model combines manufacturing with direct retail and customer support services, including warranty offers and manuals. The company targets both hobbyists and professional users, leveraging its Power X-Change battery system as a key competitive advantage. The presence of customer login and registration portals suggests a focus on customer retention and service. Partnerships with authentication and hosting providers support a secure and scalable digital ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site may indicate a preference for contact via forms or social media channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and integration of anti-bot verification via FriendlyCaptcha. Privacy compliance is robust, with a detailed privacy policy and cookie consent managed by Usercentrics. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided information. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and security researchers.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain up-to-date dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable and scalable platform. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics, Matomo for self-hosted tracking, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting a strong focus on privacy and data protection. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Hosting appears to be managed via einhell-live.de infrastructure, which supports performance and reliability. However, the site lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security documentation, which are technical risks. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
