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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  4. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 website positions iRobot as a market leader in robotic cleaning technology with over 50 million units sold worldwide. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales supplemented by customer support and warranty services. The presence of advanced marketing tools and analytics indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and sales optimization. The site targets a broad consumer base in Canada, offering product comparisons, help guides, and promotional deals to enhance buyer confidence. Partnerships with payment processors and identity management providers support secure and seamless transactions. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and customer communication.

Security posture

The site exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and integration of reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Payment processing is handled through Braintree, a reputable PCI-compliant gateway. User authentication is managed via Gigya, enhancing identity security. Consent management is implemented through TrustArc, supporting regulatory compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's transparency and readiness for security incidents. Enhancing these areas would improve overall security maturity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies linked prominently on the site.
  2. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and general inquiries.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and updates.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services for payments, analytics, and consent management. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive design for mobile optimization. Accessibility tools like User1st are integrated, indicating attention to inclusive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data usage. The technical stack is robust and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve performance metrics and further optimize accessibility and privacy compliance.
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.
