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

Geiger.com is a large, family-owned US-based distributor specializing in promotional products, corporate gifts, and imprinted apparel. The company positions itself as the largest family-owned promotional product distributor in the US, serving a broad business audience with a comprehensive product catalog and services including custom products, kitting, corporate programs, and expos. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive product categories, client brand logos, and active social media engagement. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and Bootstrap 5, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. Marketing and analytics tools include Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Osano CMP for consent management, Filestack for file handling, and Searchspring for search functionality. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices, though performance metrics indicate slow loading. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. While some security headers are present, key TLS protocols and best practices like HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are not enabled. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is professionally designed and credible from a business standpoint but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL/TLS deployment, enabling modern security headers and protocols, implementing cookie consent, and publishing incident response information.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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

Geiger.com operates in the retail sector focusing on promotional products and corporate gifting. Its market position as the largest family-owned distributor in the US suggests strong competitive advantages including scale, brand recognition, and a wide product offering. The business model is B2B distribution with additional services like custom product creation and corporate programs. The presence of localized partner sites in Germany and the UK indicates international reach. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with major brands and clients showcased on the site. Growth indicators include new product launches, expos, and extensive service capabilities. The business targets corporate clients, marketing professionals, and organizations seeking branded merchandise to enhance brand engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options are implemented, but the content-security-policy header is empty, representing a missed opportunity for mitigating cross-site scripting and other attacks. TLS protocols are disabled, and no OCSP stapling or session resumption is configured, indicating outdated or incomplete SSL/TLS configuration. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. The site uses secure cookies with HttpOnly and SameSite=strict flags, which is a positive practice. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation to meet basic security standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher and disable insecure protocols to protect data in transit.
  3. Configure and enforce a robust content-security-policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  4. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Vue.js and Bootstrap 5, with server infrastructure powered by nginx and likely hosted on AWS given the IP addresses and S3 usage. It integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Osano CMP for consent management, and Searchspring for enhanced search capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks. However, performance data is missing, and inferred loading speed is slow. The SSL/TLS configuration is incomplete and insecure, which poses a risk to user data and site integrity. The site uses secure cookies with appropriate flags, but lacks advanced SSL features like OCSP stapling and session resumption. Technical debt is evident in the lack of HTTPS and incomplete security headers. Modernization opportunities include full HTTPS adoption, performance optimization, and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
