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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on wine production and direct customer interaction via a Heuriger. The model relies on local and tourist clientele interested in wine tasting and events. The website supports this with event calendar feeds and online shopping capabilities. The company maintains consistent branding and clear contact information, enhancing customer trust. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The use of modern CMS and plugins suggests a commitment to maintaining an up-to-date digital presence. The absence of terms of service and explicit security policies may be areas for future development to enhance business professionalism.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with GDPR and basic security best practices. However, the absence of several key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of honeypot techniques for forms suggests awareness of spam and bot mitigation. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could be a gap in security culture and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced with additional technical controls and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It leverages jQuery and several WordPress plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Complianz for GDPR cookie management. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently with some use of caching and minification indicated by query strings. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, facilitating maintainability and scalability.
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.
