0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Holland Watch Group B.V. operates an e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of watches and watch straps. The website positions itself as an official dealer for multiple watch brands, offering fast delivery and a secure ordering process. The business targets consumers interested in purchasing watches online, leveraging a network of partner sites for various language markets. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Tailwind CSS and Typekit fonts, and integrates Google Tag Manager and eTrusted widgets for analytics and trust signals. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens present, but lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and branding appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate to good level of digital maturity with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

3 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 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. 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

The company operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on watches and related accessories. It maintains a strong market position as an official dealer with a broad international reach through partner domains catering to different languages and regions. The business model is direct-to-consumer online sales, emphasizing fast delivery and stock availability. Trust indicators include a high aggregate customer rating and the use of recognized third-party trust widgets. The lack of visible contact information and missing WHOIS data may impact customer confidence and regulatory compliance. The company appears medium-sized with a consistent brand presence and a professional website design.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and includes CSRF protection tokens, indicating awareness of basic web security practices. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and similar regulations. The absence of incident response contacts or security policies further limits the security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and integrations to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Tailwind CSS for styling and Typekit for fonts, ensuring a visually appealing and responsive design. Google Tag Manager and eTrusted widgets are integrated for analytics and trust signals, indicating a focus on marketing and customer confidence. The site is served over HTTPS with CSRF tokens embedded, supporting secure transactions. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected, and no advanced frameworks were identified. Performance appears moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Opportunities exist to enhance technical robustness by adding security headers and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
