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

4 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

  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 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';…

  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

helloCash operates in the technology sector, focusing on software solutions for cash register and receipt management. Its business model appears to be freemium or free usage, targeting Austrian businesses needing compliant and easy-to-use online cash registers. The company benefits from awards and a clear social media presence, which supports its market positioning. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence. The integration of marketing and analytics tools indicates an active approach to customer engagement and growth. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the provided content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which may impact readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, potentially exposing the company to GDPR compliance risks. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces tracking but no clear user consent mechanism was found.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve security transparency.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies including Vue.js and Vuetify, ensuring a responsive and visually consistent user interface. Hosting on AWS provides scalability and reliability. The integration of marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Intercom, and Visual Website Optimizer indicates a mature approach to user engagement and conversion optimization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The lack of visible forms limits data collection risks but also reduces direct user interaction points. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
