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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

The company holds a niche position in the retail fashion accessories market, leveraging both direct e-commerce sales and third-party marketplaces to reach customers. Its long operational history and membership in Händlerbund indicate credibility and commitment to consumer protection. The business model focuses on quality handmade products with a broad product range for different customer segments including men, women, and children. Marketing efforts include social media sharing and affiliate links to coffee products, suggesting cross-promotional strategies. The website's technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. The absence of direct phone or email contact on the site suggests reliance on contact forms and marketplace communication channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and session management via PHPSESSIONID cookies. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categorization and user control, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The site does not publish an incident response or security policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be strengthened with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact details (phone/email) to improve customer trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Jimdo CMS platform, utilizing jQuery UI for UI components and integrating Google Analytics for visitor tracking. It uses POWr.io widgets for enhanced functionality and Google Maps API for location services. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Performance is moderate, with multiple preconnect and dns-prefetch hints to Jimdo CDN domains. Accessibility is basic with some focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML elements. The site lacks advanced security headers and does not appear to use modern frontend frameworks beyond jQuery UI. Hosting is provided by Jimdo GmbH, consistent with the CMS platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
