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

Exalto is a French retail e-commerce company specializing in men's eyewear, offering a curated selection of glasses emphasizing elegance, technical quality, and comfort. The website is built on the PrestaShop platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience and lazy loading for performance optimization. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, indicating good availability. However, the absence of visible privacy, cookie policies, and contact information suggests areas for compliance and trust improvement. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and explicit incident response contacts. Overall, the website presents a professional retail presence but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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

11 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

      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

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

Exalto operates in the niche retail sector focusing on men's eyewear, targeting style-conscious male consumers. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging detailed product descriptions and multiple color variants to appeal to customers. The company maintains a consistent brand identity with a focus on quality and design. External links to social media platforms are generic and do not clearly indicate active engagement or verified company accounts. The lack of WHOIS data transparency is typical for privacy-protected domains but slightly reduces trust. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited formal security governance. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop e-commerce platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries such as lozad for lazy loading, slick and swiper for UI components, and select2 for enhanced select elements. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and product information, aiding SEO. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented, and mobile optimization appears good based on responsive meta tags and mobile detection scripts. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, but could be enhanced with more comprehensive metadata and sitemap integration. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content.
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.
