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

    • 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

  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 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

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

Heel operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on natural pharmaceutical products for humans and animals. The business model revolves around product development and distribution, supported by educational health content. The website links to several partner domains related to veterinary products and career opportunities, indicating a diversified ecosystem. The company targets both end consumers and professional audiences such as veterinarians. Heel's market position appears stable and reputable within Germany, supported by consistent branding and a medium-sized enterprise scale. The absence of detailed WHOIS registrant data slightly limits full verification but does not detract from the overall credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and integration of a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics with ads data redaction enabled, indicating privacy-conscious tracking. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing explicit privacy and security policies and improving accessibility features to strengthen compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards (e.g., WCAG) for a broader audience reach.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they comply with privacy and security best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Alpine.js for interactivity, Kentico CMS for content management, and Splide.js for carousel functionality. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom based on nameservers, suggesting reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with some scope for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The integration of Usercentrics for consent management reflects compliance efforts. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
