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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Foscam operates primarily in the technology sector, focusing on security and surveillance hardware and software solutions. Their business model combines product sales with cloud-based services and software management tools. The company leverages partnerships and a global distribution network to maintain a competitive position. The presence of affiliate links and active social media accounts indicates ongoing marketing efforts. The company targets a broad audience including home users and businesses requiring security solutions. The domain age and WHOIS data support the legitimacy and longevity of the business.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and maintains a clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of visible security headers, and use of an outdated jQuery version present potential vulnerabilities. The company publishes security updates and a product security policy, demonstrating awareness of security best practices. There is no explicit incident response contact information or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and readiness. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, impacting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in technical controls and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Publish clear incident response contact details and consider adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS built on the Yii framework with jQuery 1.7.2 and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Hosting is provided by Alibaba Cloud, consistent with the company's Chinese origin. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site lacks structured data markup which could improve SEO. The presence of multiple external scripts and affiliate links is managed but should be monitored for security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but shows signs of aging and areas for modernization.
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.
