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

4 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. 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

  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.

    • 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 Hong Kong is positioned as a premium retailer and manufacturer of domestic and commercial appliances, leveraging the global Miele brand. The business model includes direct product sales via an online shop and physical stores, supported by customer service and promotional content. The target audience is domestic customers in Hong Kong, with a focus on quality and brand trust. The company maintains active social media presence and uses Google Tag Manager for marketing analytics. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and clear business information, though direct contact details are limited to social media and WhatsApp. The partnership with the official online shop domain strengthens e-commerce capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could impact transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but is common practice. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could improve by adopting additional security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Provide explicit company contact information such as support emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS platform with JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Flexslider for UI components. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. Cookie consent is managed via cookielaw.org scripts, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. The site loads moderate CSS and JavaScript assets, with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. No CMS fingerprinting or hosting provider details were found in the HTML. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts. The site could benefit from modernizing frameworks and improving accessibility standards.
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.
