Low risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Security score

79/100

Risk levelLow

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

Maxima is a large retail grocery chain operating in Estonia, offering over 2000 promotional deals weekly to its customers. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting retail consumers seeking affordable daily groceries. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is served over HTTPS with no detected WAF or blocking mechanisms, indicating reliable hosting and security infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks visible security policies and incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partially addressed via Cookiebot consent but lacks a publicly accessible privacy policy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate to good digital maturity with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security documentation.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Maxima holds a strong market position in Estonia's retail grocery sector, leveraging promotional offers and customer loyalty to attract consumers. The business model focuses on high-volume retail with extensive product offerings and weekly deals. The website integrates multiple third-party advertising and analytics services such as Google Analytics, Meta Platforms, and Adform, indicating a data-driven marketing approach. However, the absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies on the site suggests potential gaps in customer engagement and regulatory transparency. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and a professional online presence, supporting its credibility in the retail market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, reflecting a baseline security and privacy posture. However, the lack of security headers and absence of published security or incident response policies limit the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks, necessitating regular audits and updates. The site would benefit from enhanced security documentation, explicit incident response contacts, and implementation of additional HTTP security headers to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous JavaScript loading, CSS bundling, and integration of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy management. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization rated good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and alternate language links. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The site uses extensive client-side storage including cookies, local storage, and IndexedDB for tracking and personalization. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce risks and enhance 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.
