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 operates in the retail sector with a focus on beverage syrups and flavours. The business model includes direct online sales and providing product information to professionals in the hospitality industry. The brand has a strong market position with a broad product range and international reach, supported by multilingual capabilities. The website integrates marketing tools like Klaviyo and Weglot, indicating active customer engagement and global targeting. The presence of GDPR-related contact info suggests compliance awareness. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a clean partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security indicators. Forms include reCaptcha to mitigate spam and abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the brand, supporting legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide a public security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing Liquid templates and standard web technologies including jQuery. It integrates third-party services such as Klaviyo for email marketing, Weglot for multilingual support, and Globo Form Builder for contact forms. Hosting is managed via Shopify with Cloudflare DNS, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with preloading of assets and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). There is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
