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

European Suppliers Book operates as a specialized catalog and database service for promotional product suppliers across Europe, targeting advertising agencies and distributors. The business provides both printed and online catalogues to facilitate supplier discovery and product inspiration. The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. The site is multilingual and well-structured, offering a professional user experience with clear navigation and partner affiliations. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and spam protection, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a GDPR page and cookie notice but no explicit consent mechanism. Overall, the site is credible and functional with room for security and compliance improvements.

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

10 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

  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';…

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

The company occupies a niche market segment providing a European-wide promotional products supplier directory and advertising platform. Its business model revolves around catalog publishing and advertising sales, serving exporters and importers in the promotional products industry. The presence of multiple partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The website's multilingual support and online/offline product offerings suggest a strategy to maximize reach and usability. Revenue likely derives from advertising sales and catalogue orders. The company appears small but focused, with consistent branding and moderate trust signals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent is informational but does not enforce explicit user consent, potentially risking GDPR non-compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add explicit terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to require explicit user consent in line with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is multilingual with language switcher functionality. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for modernization. Hosting details are limited but registrar is reputable. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can be enhanced for security and 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.
