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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 website positions Harman Audio as a leading global audio brand with a strong presence in Europe. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales supported by comprehensive customer service and product registration. The presence of multiple sub-brands and localized content indicates a segmented market approach. Partnerships with payment providers like Klarna and Apple Pay enhance customer convenience. The site’s integration with marketing and personalization platforms suggests a focus on customer engagement and retention. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site indicates reliance on centralized support portals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, use of bot mitigation (Datadome), and fraud prevention (Riskified). Payment integrations follow industry standards with Klarna and Apple Pay. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible in the provided data and should be confirmed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site lacks a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which is recommended for transparency and security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options if missing.
  2. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and security transparency.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they are up to date and free from vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention transparency by publishing clear policies on user data lifecycle.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information for security or privacy inquiries to improve responsiveness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Salesforce Commerce Cloud as its CMS and e-commerce platform, integrating multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, payment, and security. The tech stack includes Google Tag Manager, Bazaarvoice for reviews, Monetate for personalization, and Datadome for bot protection. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive design for mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, indicating good compliance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses modern JavaScript and CSS practices but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security header configurations.
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.
