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

4 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
    • 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';…

  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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Handicare holds a strong market position as a global leader in stairlift manufacturing and distribution, leveraging a large network of certified dealers worldwide. Their business model focuses on product innovation, customer empowerment, and accessibility solutions. The company targets elderly and disabled customers seeking to maintain independence at home. Trust indicators such as ISO certifications, BBB accreditation, and positive customer reviews reinforce their credibility. The presence of multiple international partner domains indicates a broad geographic footprint and strategic partnerships. The company’s longevity since 2009 and consistent branding further support its market stability and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR compliance, but no explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for disabled users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a static hosting platform (Statichs) and leverages modern analytics tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar for user behavior insights. It uses Google Tag Manager for tag management and ClickCease for ad fraud prevention. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring reliability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
