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

6 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

MHZ is positioned as a medium-sized retail company specializing in window treatment solutions. Their business model combines manufacturing and retail with a focus on quality and design variety. The presence of multiple regional domains suggests a strategy targeting German-speaking and neighboring markets. The company leverages digital tools like a product configurator to engage customers and streamline sales. While the website is professional and well-structured, the absence of visible contact details and formal policies may limit trust for some users. The company appears to maintain a solid market position with consistent branding and a clear product portfolio.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security-conscious script loading, and integration of a reputable cookie consent management platform (Usercentrics). No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, which is managed with default denied consent settings, aligning with GDPR principles. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance user trust and support.
  4. Review and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. Frontend technologies include Tailwind CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity, with deferred and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags, integrated with Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting a modern approach to privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through further optimization. No hosting provider details were explicitly found in the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
