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

Kaufland Marketplace GmbH operates a large-scale e-commerce platform primarily serving the Polish market, as indicated by the domain www.kaufland.pl. The company provides an online retail marketplace with a broad product offering, targeting general consumers. The website is protected by Cloudflare's security services, including a Turnstile CAPTCHA challenge, which currently blocks direct access to the site's content. This security measure indicates a proactive approach to mitigating automated attacks and abuse but limits the ability to fully assess the site's content and user experience. From a technical perspective, the site leverages Cloudflare's infrastructure for hosting and security, which is a strong indicator of modern web infrastructure. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of privacy or cookie policies in the accessible content suggest areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available from the Polish registry, which is common for domains with privacy protection but reduces transparency. Security posture is moderate due to the presence of Cloudflare WAF and CAPTCHA protections, but the absence of visible security headers and policies lowers the overall security maturity score. The business information provided in the footer is clear and consistent with a legitimate retail marketplace entity. Overall, the site demonstrates a reasonable security baseline but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and content accessibility to improve trust and user experience.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Kaufland Marketplace GmbH is positioned as a major player in the retail e-commerce sector in Poland and Germany. The business model focuses on operating an online marketplace platform, facilitating product sales from multiple vendors to consumers. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a large customer base. The presence of official company registration details and VAT number supports its credibility. The lack of visible phone contact or social media channels in the provided content suggests a focus on digital self-service and email communication. The use of Cloudflare indicates investment in infrastructure security and performance. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data provided. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed in the accessible content.

Security posture

The website employs Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall and Turnstile CAPTCHA to protect against automated threats and abuse, which is a positive security control. However, the absence of standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No explicit privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the accessible content. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, which could hinder effective communication during security events. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with enhanced transparency and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Improve WHOIS transparency if possible or provide clear registrant information on the website to enhance legitimacy.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information and security policies to improve communication during security events.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and content availability by optimizing WAF rules to reduce false positives and user blocking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging its security and CDN services. The presence of Turnstile CAPTCHA indicates advanced bot mitigation technology. The HTML content is minimal and primarily serves a security challenge page, limiting the ability to assess the full technology stack or CMS. No explicit frameworks or platforms are detected from the provided content. Performance and SEO optimization cannot be evaluated due to content blocking. The site uses modern security infrastructure but lacks visible meta tags and accessibility features in the accessible content. Technical debt or modernization needs cannot be fully assessed given the limited content.
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.
