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

Miele operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors, focusing on premium home appliances. The company has a long history dating back to 1899, positioning itself as a leader in luxury appliances in Canada. The business model centers on direct sales through an e-commerce platform complemented by customer service and support. The website's integration with marketing and analytics platforms indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled communication channel via forms and support pages, typical for large enterprises. The brand maintains consistent and professional digital branding, supporting its premium market positioning. No suspicious or unrelated domains were found linked to the site, indicating a focused and secure partner ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure user authentication flows. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policies indicates compliance with privacy regulations. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact information, and a vulnerability disclosure program, which are best practices for enterprise security transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for large brands but limits external verification of domain ownership. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing additional security governance information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR transparency.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for interactive elements, and integrates third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Yotpo, and SiteBehaviour. Hosting appears to be on DigitalOcean infrastructure, inferred from CDN URLs. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable e-commerce experience with room for further optimization in performance and security transparency.
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.
