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

H.W.Larsen A/S is a Danish company specializing in professional kitchen equipment, including knives, baking tools, kitchen utensils, chef clothing, and large kitchen inventory. Established in 1934, the company targets professional kitchens and catering businesses, positioning itself as a trusted supplier with a long history. The website supports multiple languages and international presence through hreflang tags, indicating a mature business model focused on e-commerce and B2B retail. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like UIkit and integrates various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Klaviyo, and Ahrefs Analytics, with a consent management system in place to comply with privacy regulations. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service pages were not detected in the provided content, which may affect compliance perception. Security posture is moderate, with no visible security headers or explicit security policies, but HTTPS usage is assumed. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but is common for established businesses. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and targets a niche market effectively.

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

2 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';…

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 sector, focusing on professional kitchen equipment and services. Its market positioning is strong in Denmark with international reach via partner sites in Sweden, the UK, and Spain. The business model combines product sales with value-added services like knife sharpening. The target customers are professional chefs, catering companies, and large kitchens. The website's multilingual support and use of marketing tools indicate a growth-oriented approach. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for improvement in customer engagement and compliance transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains serving different language markets, enhancing market penetration.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and a consent management platform (Cookiebot) to handle cookies and tracking, which supports GDPR compliance. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are recommended best practices. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, and no incident response contact information is publicly available. The use of multiple third-party marketing and analytics scripts increases the attack surface and requires careful management. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit security policies, and improved transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with GDPR.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the UIkit framework version 3.10.1, indicating a modern and responsive design approach. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Tag Manager, Ahrefs), marketing (Klaviyo, Sleeknote, ProfitMetrics), and cookie consent (Cookiebot). The site uses canonical and hreflang tags for SEO and internationalization. Performance appears moderate, with deferred loading of some scripts and asynchronous loading of analytics. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security 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.
