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

Haoqq导航 operates as a specialized navigation portal tailored for Amazon global sellers and cross-border e-commerce practitioners. It aggregates and provides access to a wide range of resources including keyword tools, ERP systems, forums, media outlets, logistics, payment solutions, and educational platforms. The website targets primarily Chinese-speaking Amazon sellers and cross-border merchants, positioning itself as a comprehensive resource hub to bridge information gaps among sellers. Technically, the site runs on an nginx server with PHP 5.6.30, employs Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and uses a responsive design framework likely based on Bootstrap. However, the SSL certificate is invalid and mismatched, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled, indicating a weak security posture. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact information is disclosed, which may impact user trust and compliance. The site heavily relies on external affiliate and partner links, integrating multiple third-party tools and services. Strategic improvements in security, compliance, and transparency are recommended to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 serves a niche market of Amazon and cross-border e-commerce sellers, offering curated links to tools and services essential for product research, order management, marketing, logistics, and payment processing. Its business model is primarily affiliate and referral-based, leveraging partnerships with various software providers, logistics companies, and payment platforms. The extensive categorization of resources and active promotion of partner services indicate a well-established ecosystem. The site’s market position is strengthened by its comprehensive coverage and focus on the Chinese-speaking seller community. Growth potential exists through expansion of service offerings and improved user engagement. However, the lack of direct contact channels and formal policies may limit institutional partnerships and user confidence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low. The invalid SSL certificate and absence of modern TLS protocols expose users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception risks. The lack of security headers and DNSSEC further weakens domain integrity and protection against spoofing. No documented security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations is not evident, and no privacy or cookie consent mechanisms are implemented. These gaps pose risks to user data privacy and regulatory compliance, potentially affecting business continuity and reputation.

Recommendations

  1. Replace the SSL certificate with a valid one matching the domain to secure communications.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols and disable outdated protocols to improve encryption standards.
  3. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to enhance transparency and compliance.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Establish an incident response plan and provide contact channels for security issues.
  7. Upgrade PHP version to a supported and secure release to reduce vulnerability exposure.
Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on nginx 1.15.8 and PHP 5.6.30, which is outdated and may have security vulnerabilities. The tech stack includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and likely Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend UI components. Performance is fast with no reported load time or resource issues. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive meta tags and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta description and keywords tags, but no structured data or Open Graph tags were found. The site relies heavily on external affiliate and partner links, which may introduce third-party risks. Technical debt is evident in the outdated PHP version and lack of modern security protocols, suggesting modernization opportunities to improve security and maintainability.
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.
