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

9 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Business profile

HEIDI Chocolat holds a strong market position as a premium chocolate brand with international reach. Its business model combines e-commerce with physical retail stores (HEIDI Chocolaterie). The company leverages craftsmanship and natural ingredients as competitive advantages. Revenue streams primarily come from direct chocolate sales and personalized product offerings. The target audience includes chocolate lovers globally, including families and children. The company maintains active social media channels and partners with a web development firm (Web Future Solutions). Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with regular content updates and product promotions. Strategic observations suggest potential for expanding digital marketing and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and visible security headers, which are important for comprehensive security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts is transparent but should be monitored for privacy compliance. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in security culture and transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add and configure security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user controls over tracking.
  5. Strengthen trust by adding certifications or trust seals relevant to e-commerce and data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary CMS platform utilizing popular JavaScript libraries and plugins for UI/UX enhancements such as Owl Carousel and Magnific Popup. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, and Klaviyo for user tracking and engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. There is no explicit information about hosting providers or backend infrastructure. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require monitoring for security and privacy compliance. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO optimization through enhanced metadata and ARIA attributes.
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.
