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

The website represents an official authorized reseller of ECCO shoes in Malta, targeting both men and women with a broad range of footwear and accessories. The business operates an e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce, offering a professional and well-structured online shopping experience. The site includes customer service contact details, social media integration, and multiple product categories, reflecting a mature retail operation. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and integrates analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a data-driven approach to marketing and user engagement. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA on forms, but lack explicit security policies or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a gap. The domain uses privacy protection in WHOIS, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy with room for improvement in privacy and security disclosures.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

ECCO Malta operates as an authorized reseller focusing on the retail footwear market in Malta. The business model centers on e-commerce sales of ECCO branded shoes and accessories, supported by customer service and marketing efforts. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a clear market position as the official Malta online store for ECCO. The presence of multiple product categories and detailed product listings suggests a broad inventory and a focus on customer choice. The integration of marketing and analytics tools indicates an emphasis on customer acquisition and retention. Partnerships with digital agencies like 9H Digital support the website's technical and marketing infrastructure. The business targets local consumers seeking quality footwear, leveraging ECCO's brand reputation. No direct parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent reseller operation.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting an opportunity for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which are important for transparency and trust. The use of nonce tokens in AJAX forms indicates adherence to WordPress security best practices. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing a range of plugins for e-commerce functionality, social sharing, analytics, and user interaction. The tech stack includes jQuery, Bootstrap, React components, and several marketing and tracking scripts such as Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses Slider Revolution for dynamic content presentation and WPBakery Page Builder for layout management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for form security and AJAX for dynamic interactions. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-integrated but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
