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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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

Norbain's business model focuses on wholesale distribution to trade customers, leveraging a robust e-commerce platform to streamline ordering and account management. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive product range, strong brand partnerships, and value-added services like pre-configuration. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including document hosting and marketing integrations, enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns, customer testimonials, and a well-maintained brand portfolio. The company's operations are UK-centric, with clear legal and tax compliance documentation available online.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs New Relic for performance and error monitoring, indicating proactive security management. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Forms utilize Magento's form_key for CSRF protection. Incident response and security policy pages are not found, suggesting potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce explicit security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to customers and partners to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers with clear labeling to improve customer support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento 2, utilizing RequireJS and jQuery for frontend functionality. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Tawk.to live chat, Clerk.io personalization, and New Relic monitoring. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets asynchronously, indicating an effort towards performance optimization. Mobile optimization is good with responsive styles and preloaded fonts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in load times and resource optimization.
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.
