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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

El Corte Inglés holds a dominant position in the Spanish retail sector, leveraging a multi-channel business model combining physical stores and a sophisticated e-commerce platform. Its broad product portfolio and subsidiaries enable cross-selling and diversification. The company targets general consumers with a focus on quality and brand reputation. The presence of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and sales optimization. The company maintains strong branding consistency and trust signals, including verified social media accounts and comprehensive legal and privacy documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, use of modern security and analytics libraries, and accessibility compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The WHOIS data is not accessible due to query restrictions, but the website's legitimacy and trustworthiness are supported by consistent branding and comprehensive policies. Recommendations include verifying security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing data protection officer contact visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement all recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance visibility and contact information for the Data Protection Officer to comply with GDPR best practices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack with Vue.js as the frontend framework and Moonshine as the CMS. It uses multiple CDN providers and analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Bing Ads, integrated via Google Tag Manager and Adobe Launch. Accessibility is enhanced through EqualWeb scripts, and cookie consent is managed by OneTrust. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of fonts and scripts for performance. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, contributing to fast load times. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is advised to maintain security and performance.
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.
