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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The magazine operates in the media sector, focusing on professional hairdressing content. Its business model revolves around content publishing, advertising, and subscriptions, supported by e-commerce platforms. The target audience includes hair professionals and salons in Germany and internationally. The company leverages partnerships with international editions and e-commerce sites to expand reach. The presence of multiple language editions and social media channels indicates a broad partnership ecosystem and growth orientation. The site’s content quality and branding consistency support a strong market presence, though direct contact information and formal policies could enhance credibility further.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses cookie consent tools compliant with GDPR and CCPA. It integrates tracking and advertising scripts responsibly with user consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit privacy, terms of service, and security policies, as well as lack of incident response contacts, represent compliance gaps. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting an area for enhancement. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and adding security headers.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve compliance and user trust.
Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and Google AdSense for monetization. The site uses Iubenda for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting appears to be via Edizioni Estetica’s infrastructure with CDN support from Automattic. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, though adding security headers and improving accessibility would strengthen the technical posture.
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.
