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

8 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

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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

Essi.pl operates in the retail sector focusing on office equipment, serving primarily Polish SMEs and office environments. The business model is direct e-commerce sales supplemented by professional advisory and repair services. The company leverages partnerships with known brands like Fellowes and maintains social media presence for customer engagement. The website content and structure reflect a mature business with consistent branding and trust signals such as warranty services and professional support. The domain age of nearly two decades supports the business's claimed experience. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data is present, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The presence of multiple Google Analytics IDs suggests extensive tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional measures and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish and disclose a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure privacy compliance.

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, utilizing standard e-commerce modules and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The hosting provider is OVH SAS, a reputable European hosting company. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The site lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and security 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.
