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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

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 holds a premium market position in the household and commercial appliance sector, leveraging its reputation for quality and innovation. The company targets both consumer and professional segments, offering a broad product portfolio and extensive after-sales services. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales, service contracts, and accessories. The website indicates active marketing through promotions and events, and integration with payment services like Klarna. The partnership ecosystem includes logistics and payment providers. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and comprehensive product information. The company operates in Ireland with a large organizational size, consistent branding, and high trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact stakeholder confidence. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site would benefit from publishing security-related documentation and providing direct contact channels for security incidents to enhance readiness and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website footer or legal section.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact information to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and monitor security headers and SSL configurations to uphold high security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. The use of modulepreload and prefetch optimizes resource loading and performance. The site employs responsive design techniques and web fonts for consistent branding. The CMS appears custom-built for Miele, supporting rich content management. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Hosting details are not explicitly available but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration.
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.
