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 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

  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

The website serves as a loyalty platform for Miele, a premium appliance brand, focusing on customer retention through exclusive offers and educational content. Its business model revolves around membership benefits and enhanced customer experience. The site targets a medium-sized market segment in New Zealand, leveraging partnerships with regional sites and the official Miele online shop. The content strategy includes recipes, videos, and events to engage users, supporting brand loyalty. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, likely via contact forms. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for Australia and official e-commerce channels, indicating a well-structured regional presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, providing users control over tracking preferences. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a missed opportunity to harden the site further. The broken fetch of the GTM script could lead to minor performance or tracking issues. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but can be strengthened with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Fix the broken Google Tag Manager script fetch to ensure proper analytics functioning.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, alongside Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site is hosted behind Akamai CDN as indicated by the nameservers, which supports performance and availability. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with SEO optimizations via Yoast SEO plugin. Minor technical debt is observed in the form of a 404 error when fetching a GTM script and lack of DNSSEC. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and stable, supporting the business needs effectively.
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.
