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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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

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

HIRSCH operates in the retail e-commerce sector, focusing on watch straps and accessories. The business model centers on direct online sales with a broad international reach, supported by localized stores and language options. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages social media channels for marketing and customer engagement. The product range includes specialized collections such as luxury and performance straps, indicating a diversified portfolio catering to various customer preferences. The presence of custom-made options suggests a premium service offering. The website's integration of marketing tools and analytics indicates a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The business targets watch owners seeking quality and style, positioning itself as a trusted brand in the niche market of watch accessories.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and integration of Google reCAPTCHA on login forms to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed through a comprehensive mechanism allowing users to control tracking preferences, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Security headers are not fully confirmed, indicating potential gaps in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site uses reputable third-party libraries and extensions, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities is recommended. Overall, the security measures are adequate for an e-commerce platform but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and user protections.
  2. Add incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and Magento extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento 2, utilizing RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading, jQuery and KnockoutJS for dynamic UI components, and Owl Carousel for interactive sliders. Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for bot protection. The site employs Mageplaza and Amasty extensions for enhanced functionality such as popups and Instagram feeds. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure appears modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and strengthen security headers. The site demonstrates good technical maturity suitable for a medium-sized e-commerce business.
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.
