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

IKEA Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG operates a comprehensive retail website offering affordable furniture and home accessories tailored for the German market. The site provides extensive product categories, planning services, and customer support, positioning IKEA as a leading furniture retailer in Germany. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and optimized for mobile and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, cookie consent management via OneTrust, and A/B testing with Optimizely, ensuring a robust user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie and privacy policies, including GDPR adherence and a consent mechanism. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis, but the overall site quality and brand reputation strongly indicate legitimacy. No adult or questionable content is present, making the site safe for general audiences.

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 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 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
  • 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

IKEA Deutschland targets general consumers in Germany seeking affordable and stylish home furnishings. The business model combines e-commerce with physical stores, supported by services such as planning consultations and delivery. IKEA's market position is strong as a leading furniture retailer with a well-established brand and extensive product range. The company leverages digital marketing tools and tracking technologies to enhance customer engagement and optimize sales. Partnerships with cookie consent and A/B testing providers indicate a focus on compliance and user experience. The site’s content and navigation are comprehensive, supporting customer needs from inspiration to purchase. The business ecosystem includes IKEA Family loyalty programs and business customer services, reflecting diversified revenue streams and customer segments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact trust among security-conscious users. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses secure forms with ARIA labels, enhancing accessibility and security. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to improve security culture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance contact information with direct security and abuse reporting email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, supported by third-party services like OneTrust for cookie consent and Optimizely for experimentation. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and multiple external resources. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to mitigate supply chain risks.
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.
