HABA · Retail · Germany

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

80/100

Risk levelLow

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

HABA is a well-established German company specializing in the retail of children's toys and games, including high-quality wooden toys. The website serves as a direct sales platform offering products, spare parts, and game instructions, targeting families and children. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent branding and comprehensive content. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Angular and SAP Commerce Cloud's Spartacus storefront, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. Security measures are robust, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, although a dedicated security policy page is absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and trustworthy, with minor areas for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness.

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

2 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

HABA operates in the retail sector, focusing on children's toys and games, leveraging direct e-commerce sales. The company benefits from a strong market position in Germany with a recognized brand and a loyal customer base. Their business model includes product sales and after-sales services such as spare parts and instructions, enhancing customer retention. The website integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Prefixbox, supporting data-driven marketing strategies. Social media engagement across Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube indicates active community interaction. The lack of WHOIS transparency may be due to privacy protection or recent domain registration, which should be monitored. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, suggesting a focused and controlled digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers including CSP, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Forms appear secure with proper input handling. The use of modern frameworks reduces the risk of common vulnerabilities. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Recommendations include publishing a security policy and incident response contacts to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from improved communication and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency around domain registration and ownership to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular and SAP Commerce Cloud's Spartacus storefront framework, indicating a modern and scalable e-commerce platform. It uses Google Tag Manager and Prefixbox for analytics and marketing integration. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast, supported by CDN-hosted images and efficient resource loading. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for organization and website schema. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and business operations.
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.
