Fiskars is a well-established global brand specializing in gardening tools, cookware, craft supplies, and scissors. The website targets consumers interested in these product categories and operates an e-commerce model with localized versions for multiple countries. The site demonstrates a professional design and consistent branding, reflecting a large retail business with a strong market presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Datadog RUM, Google Tag Manager, and Exponea, with consent management via OneTrust. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and consent-based tracking, though explicit security headers and published security policies are absent.

Overall, the website is secure, professional, and compliant with basic privacy standards, though improvements in policy visibility and WHOIS transparency are recommended.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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

Fiskars operates in the retail sector, focusing on consumer goods related to gardening, cooking, and crafting. The company leverages a multi-regional e-commerce platform to reach diverse markets including Americas and Europe. The business model centers on direct online sales supported by marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. Fiskars benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent global branding. The absence of explicit contact information and company registration details on the site suggests a focus on user experience over corporate transparency in the public domain. The partnership ecosystem includes various analytics and marketing service providers. Growth indicators include localized content and advanced tracking capabilities. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced privacy disclosures and security transparency to maintain trust in evolving regulatory environments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of consent-based tracking mechanisms. Use of OneTrust for cookie consent and Datadog for real user monitoring indicates attention to privacy and performance monitoring. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain transparency but does not directly impact site security. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through consent mechanisms but lacks explicit policy documentation. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from formalizing security governance and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policy pages linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with CSS and JavaScript, leveraging third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user experience optimization. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with preloading of critical assets and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is mobile optimized and includes basic accessibility features. However, no CMS or backend platform was explicitly detected. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and policy disclosures. The integration of multiple tracking and marketing tools is managed with consent, reflecting a mature approach to data privacy. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience with room for enhancements in security and transparency.
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.
