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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

      • 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';…

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 leverages its long-standing expertise and regional sourcing to maintain a competitive advantage in the compost and soil market in Austria. Their product quality and certifications serve as key differentiators. The website supports both consumer and business clients with detailed product information, consultation, and logistics services. The presence of a newsletter and social media channels indicates active customer engagement. The business operates in the sustainable agriculture and gardening sector, with a focus on organic and environmentally friendly products. Growth potential exists through expanding B2B partnerships and enhancing digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of reputable WordPress plugins for forms and e-commerce. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential risk vector. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, which could limit rapid mitigation of security issues. GDPR compliance is indicated by the presence of a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, representing a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to headers and formal incident response processes.

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. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and several specialized plugins for sliders, team display, contact forms, and newsletters. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized business websites, providing a balance of functionality and maintainability. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
