Security score

41/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.home-sewing.com is an e-commerce platform specializing in sewing machines and accessories, primarily focusing on Toyota and Veritas brands. It targets sewing enthusiasts and professionals in Europe, offering a range of products including sewing machines, spare parts, and sewing kits. The business operates under Crown Technics GmbH, with a professional and consistent brand presence. Technically, the site uses the Gambio CMS platform with modern JavaScript libraries and is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and secure forms, but lacks some security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is mostly met with a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust and legitimacy scores. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and trustworthy but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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

12 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company Crown Technics GmbH operates a niche e-commerce business focused on sewing machines and accessories, serving a European market with multi-language support. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on specialized products for sewing hobbyists and professionals. The website shows clear navigation and product categorization, supporting customer engagement and sales. The lack of WHOIS data is a concern but the presence of legal and privacy pages, along with a freecall support number, indicates a legitimate operation. The company leverages partnerships with Gambio for e-commerce software and FRAGO-WEBDESIGN for web design, indicating a professional ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding product lines and improving digital marketing and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Monitor domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is properly registered and publicly available to improve legitimacy.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by documenting data retention policies and providing clear user data management options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Gambio e-commerce platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Mustache.js for dynamic content and UI components. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags and JSON-LD structured data for breadcrumbs. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
