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

Mecca Enterprises Group is a well-established Malta-based importer and distributor specializing in a diverse range of products including toys, games, carnival costumes, educational books, sporting equipment, and marine products such as boats and yachts. The company operates multiple subsidiaries focused on holiday homes, marine insurance, marine products, and toys, positioning itself as a leading market player in Malta. The website reflects a family-run business with a strong client base and a broad supplier network across Europe, America, and the Far East. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET WebForms with Kentico CMS, utilizing older JavaScript libraries and the Foundation CSS framework, indicating moderate digital maturity. Security posture is average with no visible advanced security headers and use of outdated libraries, while privacy compliance is lacking due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and compliance improvements.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. 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 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';…

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 company holds a strong market position in Malta as a leading importer and distributor with a diversified product portfolio and multiple subsidiaries. Its business model focuses on importation and distribution to retail and business customers. The family-run nature and dedicated staff contribute to operational efficiency and customer service excellence. The presence of social media channels and a professional website supports brand visibility. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests room for compliance enhancement. Partnerships with design firms like accreda.eu indicate investment in digital presence. The company’s longevity since 1997 and consistent domain registration support legitimacy and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. The use of outdated jQuery 1.7.2 presents potential vulnerabilities. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, nor any data protection officer contact, indicating gaps in security governance and compliance. Forms appear standard with no exposed sensitive data. Overall, security practices are minimal and should be enhanced to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced across the entire website and verify SSL/TLS configuration for best practices.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Add clear security incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms using Kentico CMS, with front-end technologies including Foundation CSS framework, ResponsiveSlides.js, and PrettyPhoto. The JavaScript library jQuery is outdated (version 1.7.2), which may introduce security risks. The site uses Google Fonts and integrates social media widgets from Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. The site’s technical infrastructure is functional but shows signs of aging and could benefit from modernization and improved security practices.
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.
