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

2 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.

    • 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.

    • 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 Lindt & Sprüngli as a premium chocolate retailer in Austria, offering a broad product range and engaging content to attract and retain customers. The business model combines direct e-commerce sales with brand marketing and customer engagement through recipes and contests. The use of advanced marketing and analytics platforms indicates a data-driven approach to customer experience and conversion optimization. The absence of direct contact information on the main page suggests a focus on online sales and self-service. Partnerships with Adobe, Trustpilot, and New Relic enhance the site's marketing and operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates New Relic for performance and error monitoring, indicating a proactive approach to security and reliability. Cookie consent is managed via CookiePro, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options in the HTML content is a gap that could be addressed to strengthen defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are evident, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional explicit security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to HTTP responses.
  3. Provide clear contact information including customer support and security incident contacts.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento Commerce with RequireJS and KnockoutJS, supported by jQuery and various Adobe marketing tools. It uses Google Tag Manager and Trustpilot widgets for analytics and customer feedback. The site loads multiple fonts and scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. While the site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, the performance is moderate, likely due to the number of third-party scripts and resources. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility 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.
