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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

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

eTailor operates in the technology sector, focusing on web development and digital marketing services tailored to Irish businesses. Their business model revolves around service provision with key revenue streams likely from website builds, SEO services, and ongoing maintenance contracts. The company targets a broad audience within Ireland, from small sole traders to large multinationals, leveraging its long-standing market presence since 2006 as a competitive advantage. The website includes testimonials as trust indicators but lacks detailed business registration or certification information. The absence of WHOIS data transparency is a limitation in assessing full legitimacy. The company appears to maintain a focused partnership ecosystem with no visible external business partners or subsidiaries linked from the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms, reducing risk of automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could hinder incident handling and transparency. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Improve WHOIS data transparency or domain registration details to enhance trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Conduct accessibility audits and improve features to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, a widely used and flexible platform. It integrates Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site loads a variety of external resources including Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA scripts. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements or errors in the HTML. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements present. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business but could benefit from modernization in security and compliance features.
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.
