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

MEDIMAX operates as a large German retail company specializing in electronics, household appliances, and entertainment technology. The website offers a comprehensive e-commerce platform with features such as store pickup, customer account management, and promotional offers. The target audience primarily consists of German consumers seeking electronics and household products. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and integrates trust signals such as Trusted Shops and Google Reviews to enhance customer confidence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, to manage tracking and marketing efforts. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design framework, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements CSRF tokens, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categories and opt-in/out mechanisms, demonstrating GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, representing an area for enhancement.

The domain registration data is minimal but consistent with the business, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility compliance.

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. 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 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';…

  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

MEDIMAX holds a strong position in the German retail electronics market, leveraging both online and physical store presence. Its business model focuses on direct consumer sales with additional services like store pickup and customer accounts. The company benefits from partnerships with trusted third-party services such as Trusted Shops and idealo, enhancing its competitive advantage. Marketing efforts are supported by extensive use of analytics and retargeting tools, targeting a broad consumer base. The website content and navigation are well-structured, supporting customer engagement and conversion. Growth indicators include active promotions and integration of new product categories such as smart home and health devices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and CSRF protection. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, providing users control over tracking and marketing cookies. The use of Google Tag Manager centralizes script management, reducing risk of script injection. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to harden defenses. Overall, the site balances usability with security but can improve in formalizing security governance and incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based responsive framework (EpResponsive) with integration of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. The presence of Swiper carousel and jQuery UI autocomplete indicates a rich interactive user interface. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain uses name servers ns2.xc-ns.de and ns5.xc-ns.de. The site does not expose sensitive data in HTML and uses CSRF tokens for form security. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience with room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
