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

3 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.

    • 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

MONIN 1912 holds a strong market position as a recognized brand in the retail sector for beverage syrups and flavours. The business model focuses on e-commerce sales combined with providing product information, recipes, and professional advice. The target customers include hospitality professionals and beverage consumers. The company demonstrates consistent branding and offers a wide product range, indicating a large enterprise scale. The domain registration and technical infrastructure support a legitimate and stable online presence. Marketing and tracking tools suggest active customer engagement strategies. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a focused and controlled digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS services. Forms are protected with CAPTCHA mechanisms, reducing spam and abuse risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through data protection officer contact and form notices but lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from formalized policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page and link it prominently on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Add explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing modern JavaScript modules and third-party integrations for forms, translation, and marketing. Hosting is managed via Shopify with Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring reliable performance and security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, including structured data and canonical tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and module preloading. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable e-commerce operation.
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.
