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. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

HSE operates as a major online retailer in the DACH region, leveraging livestream shopping to differentiate itself in the competitive e-commerce market. Its business model centers on direct online sales across multiple categories, supported by strong brand presence and active social media channels. The company maintains sister sites for Germany and Austria, indicating a regional multi-market strategy. Key revenue streams include product sales and promotional campaigns. The platform's user experience and content quality are excellent, supporting customer retention and growth. Partnerships with known brands and a clear focus on customer service (free hotline, 30-day returns) enhance its market position. The absence of explicit company registration details on the site suggests further due diligence may be needed for full corporate transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Usercentrics for consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing formal security documentation and incident response procedures. Overall, the security posture is strong for an e-commerce platform but lacks some advanced transparency features.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to inform users about how long their data is stored and managed.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React for frontend rendering and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a contemporary and privacy-aware technical stack. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, integrated with appropriate consent mechanisms. Accessibility is enhanced via the eyeAble tool, showing commitment to inclusive design. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and fast loading times. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses secure HTTPS connections and standard security headers. Performance is moderate to good, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management.
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.
