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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Sharp Corporation's website demonstrates its position as a global enterprise in the technology sector, focusing on consumer electronics and business solutions. The site provides extensive corporate information, investor relations data, and sustainability initiatives, indicating a transparent and mature business operation. The presence of multiple affiliated company links and detailed corporate governance information suggests a complex organizational structure. The business model centers on manufacturing and selling technology products with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. The website's content and structure support a broad target audience including investors, partners, and customers, reinforcing Sharp's competitive advantages and market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Security policies are published, enhancing trust. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit incident response contacts are gaps in compliance and readiness. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates tracking but is standard practice. Recommendations include adding security headers like Content-Security-Policy and providing a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Publish clear terms of service to define user and company obligations.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers to include Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others for improved protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager scripts and slick carousel for interactive UI components. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, ensuring consistent typography. The site is mobile optimized and uses semantic HTML5 elements for structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly detected from the HTML content. The site is well-structured for SEO with canonical links and meta tags. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by implementing advanced security headers and optimizing performance.
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.
