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

Intercoop House & Garden Cooperative is a leading European procurement organisation specializing in retail cooperatives. Established in 2009, it serves 14 members across 11 countries, managing over 5,000 stores and a purchasing volume exceeding €3 billion annually. The organisation focuses on strategic product categories including garden, pet, house, and DIY products, providing direct procurement, volume bundling, and price negotiations at a European level. Technically, the website is built on MoveCMS with integrations such as Google Maps API and CookieYes for cookie consent, hosted by Hostpoint AG. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO, and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business claims. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected.

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

8 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: 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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

Intercoop holds a strong market position as a cooperative purchasing organisation, leveraging its members' agricultural and cooperative backgrounds to consolidate procurement volumes and negotiate favorable terms with suppliers. Its business model emphasizes collaboration, volume bundling, and international supplier access through local agents. The organisation's network and purchasing power provide competitive advantages, supported by a professional website with detailed member and supplier information. Growth indicators include a large store network and significant purchasing volume. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with 400+ suppliers and multiple European members. Strategic observations highlight a focus on sustainability, professionalism, and reliability as core values.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and CookieYes is managed with user consent options. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS (MoveCMS by MovePeople.ch) and integrates modern web technologies including Google Maps API and CookieYes for cookie management. The hosting provider is Hostpoint AG, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses slick sliders for interactive content. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a relatively modern and maintainable infrastructure.
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.
