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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

EMP Norge benefits from a strong brand presence in the alternative merchandise market, leveraging partnerships across multiple European countries. The company uses Salesforce Commerce Cloud as its e-commerce platform, enabling scalable and robust online retail operations. The target customer base includes music and pop culture fans, with a focus on alternative fashion and collectibles. The presence of multiple international domains indicates a broad market reach and strategic partnerships. The business model is primarily B2C e-commerce with potential for growth in digital marketing and personalization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, modern security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The use of third-party tracking scripts like CQuotient is noted, which requires ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and personalization tools like CQuotient. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern fonts and CSS techniques. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
