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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

Lidl Hrvatska is part of the Lidl retail brand, operating supermarkets in Croatia since 2021. The company targets general consumers seeking affordable groceries and household goods. Its competitive advantage lies in its established brand, wide product range, and localized offers. Revenue streams primarily come from retail sales. The website supports customer engagement and compliance with EU regulations. Partnerships with Akamai for hosting and OneTrust for privacy management indicate a strategic approach to digital operations. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The company maintains a professional online presence consistent with its market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of security best practices such as cookie consent management and secure third-party integrations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could be improved. The use of recognized tools like OneTrust and Kameleoon shows attention to privacy and personalization compliance. Overall, the site is secure for users and compliant with GDPR, but could enhance transparency around security policies and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct security or abuse email addresses for incident reporting.
  5. Maintain ongoing monitoring and updates to privacy and security compliance as regulations evolve.

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript technologies with integration of YouTube API and OneTrust for cookie consent. Hosting is provided by Akamai, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on third-party scripts which require regular security reviews. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant retail website.
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.
