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

Elektroland Mattighofen is a well-established Austrian retailer specializing in electronics, household appliances, and related products, with a strong regional presence in the Innviertel area. The company operates both a physical store and an online shop, offering a wide range of products including large and small household appliances, kitchen utensils, body care, and wellness items. The website reflects a mature e-commerce platform with good content quality, clear navigation, and consistent branding. Technical infrastructure is based on modern web technologies including Shopware CMS and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and PayPal Unified. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust verification, but the overall business credibility is supported by certifications and professional presentation.

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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

Elektroland holds a strong market position as the largest electronics specialist in its region, leveraging over 90 years of business history. Its business model combines retail and e-commerce, targeting Austrian consumers seeking quality electronics and household appliances. The company benefits from partnerships with major brands like Braun, Oral-B, Liebherr, Siemens, Bosch, and De'Longhi, enhancing its product offerings and market appeal. The website supports customer engagement through events, cooking classes, and promotions. Growth potential is indicated by a comprehensive online presence and integration of modern marketing tools. The company maintains trust through certifications and transparent policies, although domain registration details remain undisclosed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, use of CSRF tokens in forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Security headers are likely implemented, though not explicitly confirmed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure channel represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident management readiness. The company should consider publishing these documents to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is strong for an e-commerce retailer but could be improved with formalized policies and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or provide official confirmation to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance with regular updates to privacy and cookie policies and clear user consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and PayPal Unified for payment processing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and image sliders enhancing user engagement. Technical debt appears minimal, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security documentation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, but HTTPS and security headers indicate a professionally managed infrastructure.
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.
