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

Globo Lighting is a well-established European retailer specializing in a wide range of lighting products, including indoor and outdoor lamps, ceiling lights, wall lights, and decorative lighting solutions. With over 25 years of market presence and multiple physical showrooms, the company offers a comprehensive e-commerce platform with detailed product information and multiple language support. The technical infrastructure is based on modern technologies such as Shopware CMS and is hosted on Google Cloud, but lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in an insecure HTTP-only connection. Security headers are properly configured, but the absence of HTTPS significantly weakens the security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present and include consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR requirements. The domain is mature and registered consistently with the business profile, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website provides an excellent user experience and professional content but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

Globo Lighting holds a strong market position as a leading lamp retailer in Europe, targeting both consumer and business segments. The business model combines e-commerce with physical showrooms, offering over 4,000 products and serving customers across multiple countries. The company leverages social media channels and maintains a newsletter for customer engagement. Trusted Shops certification and detailed legal pages contribute to credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests reliance on contact forms and social media for communication. The partnership with Barracuda Networks for email security indicates attention to operational security. The company appears focused on growth and customer experience, with a broad product portfolio and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security best practices through the use of security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. However, the critical absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a major vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, and no WAF or security challenge is present. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further limits security effectiveness. No explicit security or incident response policies are found on the site. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate remediation to meet modern standards and protect customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS by installing a valid SSL/TLS certificate.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Add OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware CMS platform and served by a Caddy web server hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. It uses modern frontend technologies and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. However, the lack of HTTPS and SSL certificate is a significant technical deficiency. Performance metrics are not available, but the site uses lazy loading for images and deferred JavaScript loading, indicating optimization efforts. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but security and performance monitoring should be improved.
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.
