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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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

The company operates in the retail sector focusing on art supplies, specifically markers and inks for graffiti and street art. Its competitive advantage lies in handcrafted quality and a strong brand identity recognized internationally. Revenue streams include direct sales through a partner online store and B2B distribution channels. The target customers are artists and stylers seeking premium marking tools. The partnership with spectrumstore.com enhances market reach. The business shows indicators of steady growth and brand loyalty within its niche. However, limited direct contact information and absence of detailed corporate data may constrain some B2B trust factors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating compliance with basic privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of visible security or incident response policies suggest room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide explicit contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures, which could be a gap in incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information for reporting vulnerabilities or security incidents.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations, enhancing legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Increase visibility of company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI components. SEO is managed via Yoast plugin, and Google Analytics is used for traffic monitoring. The site loads over HTTPS with no visible errors and has a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization in loading times and accessibility. The technical stack is modern and widely supported but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
