0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Montre.com is an established online retail platform specializing in watches, operating primarily in French-speaking markets such as the Netherlands and Belgium. It is part of the Holland Watch Group B.V., which positions itself as a leading watch specialist with official reseller status for multiple brands. The website offers a secure and user-friendly shopping experience with fast delivery services. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and CSRF token usage, although some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly, potentially due to privacy protection or registry issues, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid business presence with good content quality and user experience, but could improve transparency and security posture.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

Montre.com operates within the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on watch sales. Its market positioning as the largest French-language watch specialist online is supported by a broad international partner network, as evidenced by multiple hreflang alternate domains targeting different European markets. The business model centers on direct online sales with official brand partnerships, catering to watch enthusiasts and general consumers seeking reliable and fast service. The company benefits from trust signals such as customer ratings and third-party trust widgets. Growth potential is supported by its multi-language presence and integration within the Holland Watch Group B.V. ecosystem. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and direct contact information may pose challenges for customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website maintains a good baseline security posture with HTTPS and CSRF protections in place. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness visibility. GDPR compliance is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in header implementation and incident response readiness to enhance resilience and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure consistency and enhance trustworthiness.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to facilitate customer support and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

  3. Good use of modern web technologies and trust widgets.
  4. No direct contact emails or phone numbers found in the HTML content; contact is via form.
  5. No explicit security or incident response policies published.
  6. No visible security headers detected in provided data.

  8. Multiple language alternate URLs indicate international presence.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Alpine.js for interactivity and Tailwind CSS for styling, ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, integrated with trusted third-party widgets like Etrusted for customer trust signals. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO practices, including hreflang tags for internationalization. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential over-reliance on third-party scripts without visible mitigation controls.
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.
