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. 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"

    • 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

Heliks operates in the hospitality and sports recreation sector, focusing on climbing activities. Its business model revolves around service provision including courses, private lessons, and event hosting, with revenue streams from bookings and on-site services like the bar. The company maintains partnerships with regional climbing and alpine organizations, enhancing its market position. The website content and structure support clear navigation and user engagement, targeting local and regional customers. The business appears small-sized with a focused niche market and a consistent brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies or incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The use of modern WordPress plugins and regular updates is implied but should be continuously monitored to mitigate risks. Tracking via Facebook Pixel is present, balanced with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Additional HTTP security headers could enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and user data handling to reinforce privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for design and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It leverages common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Moment.js, and Daterangepicker for enhanced user interaction. SEO is optimized using Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with CDN usage for some assets. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized service businesses, with opportunities to improve performance and security hardening.
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.
