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

EXPERT Elektrofachhandel operates as a large regional electrical retail chain in Austria, with a strong physical presence across 180 stores and an online platform. The business focuses on selling electrical appliances, providing electrical installation services, and offering repair and maintenance. The website reflects a professional retail business model targeting general consumers in Austria. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and Nuxt.js, with integration of third-party services like Klarna for payments and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility is basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks important security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy of the domain with consistent registrant information matching the business claims. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures to improve trust and compliance.

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

7 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"

      • 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 holds a significant market position in the Austrian retail electrical sector, leveraging a large network of physical stores complemented by an online presence. Its business model combines product sales with installation and repair services, targeting a broad consumer base. The integration of Klarna indicates a focus on flexible payment options, enhancing customer convenience. The absence of detailed privacy and security policies suggests room for improvement in regulatory compliance. The technical infrastructure is modern but could be further enhanced with better security practices. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates non-compliance with GDPR best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add essential security headers to protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security and general inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies including Vue.js and Nuxt.js, with Vuetify for UI components, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. Integration with Klarna's Web SDK suggests support for advanced payment options. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site preloads multiple JavaScript chunks, which may impact initial load performance but supports modular code delivery. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, the lack of detected CMS or hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved to enhance usability for all users.
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.
