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

5 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 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

Einhell Nordic A/S operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on power tools and garden equipment. The business model combines product sales with customer support services including spare parts, manuals, and repair offerings. The company targets a broad audience from DIY consumers to professionals, leveraging a strong brand presence and partnerships. The multilingual website and extensive product catalog indicate a large-scale operation with international reach. Integration with authentication services and customer login portals suggests a focus on customer retention and service. The company maintains active social media channels and uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a controlled communication channel via dedicated contact pages and login portals.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration, uses CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and integrates a consent management platform to ensure GDPR compliance. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but may be present at the server level; their explicit implementation is recommended. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The use of Keycloak for authentication indicates a secure identity management approach. However, no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional documented policies and explicit security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Ensure all forms have robust server-side validation and CSRF protections to prevent injection and forgery attacks.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to facilitate user support and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses modern front-end technologies including responsive design, Google Fonts, and JavaScript modules. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, with user consent managed by Usercentrics CMP. CAPTCHA protection is provided by Friendly Captcha. The site loads assets from multiple trusted CDNs and integrates TeamViewer for remote support. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site structure is clear with extensive navigation menus and multilingual support. Hosting details are not explicit but likely involve einhell-live.de infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and well-executed with minor opportunities for security header enhancements.
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.
