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

Lidl Hrvatska operates as a retail supermarket chain in Croatia, providing customers with daily promotions and product offers. The website is professionally designed, localized in Croatian, and targets Croatian consumers seeking supermarket deals. The business model focuses on retail sales through physical stores supported by an informative online presence. The domain is relatively new, created in 2021, consistent with the launch of Lidl's operations in Croatia, and registered with a local registrar, indicating legitimacy. Technically, the website employs modern technologies including Vue.js, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, hosted on Akamai infrastructure. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policy mechanisms shows compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and employs best practices such as consent-based tracking and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, Lidl Hrvatska's website presents a trustworthy, professional, and compliant digital presence with a strong business credibility and security posture. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, providing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file to enhance transparency and security readiness.

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. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 83 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

  5. 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 positioned as a major retail supermarket chain in Croatia, leveraging the strong brand of Lidl and the Schwarz Gruppe. The business model is focused on retail sales with a strong emphasis on promotions and customer engagement through digital channels. The website supports this by providing localized content and promotional information. The company targets Croatian consumers and operates in the retail sector. The domain age aligns with Lidl's expansion timeline in Croatia, supporting growth indicators. The website's partnership ecosystem includes third-party services for analytics and consent management but no direct partner domains were identified. The business shows a mature digital presence with room for enhanced security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and excellent SSL configuration. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, ensuring GDPR compliance and user privacy. Tracking scripts like Google Analytics and Kameleoon are used with consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt indicates gaps in security transparency and incident readiness. The site would benefit from formalizing these aspects to improve security culture and compliance. Overall, the security posture is strong but can be enhanced with better documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals or certifications related to security and privacy.

Hosting is provided by Akamai, a reputable CDN and security provider, ensuring good performance and availability. The site includes polyfills and accessibility features, indicating attention to broad device compatibility and user experience.

Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and performance optimization is recommended to maintain high standards.
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.
