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

8 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 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

  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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Norwex operates in the retail sector with a focus on sustainable household products. Its business model leverages direct sales and online commerce, supported by a comprehensive marketing ecosystem including Facebook, TikTok, and Google advertising platforms. The company maintains consistent branding and targets consumers interested in healthier living and environmental sustainability. While contact information is not prominently displayed, the site integrates advanced tracking and consent tools, indicating a data-driven marketing approach. The domain registration aligns with the company's Canadian identity, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, proper security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of a consent management platform ensures GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The site could improve by publishing these policies and enhancing accessibility features. No critical security issues were detected, and the overall security score is strong.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Make contact information more visible and accessible to improve trust and customer support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks.

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React, Lottie animations, and multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, and Publitas. Hosting is provided via Incapsula (Imperva), indicating enterprise-grade infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and mobile optimization present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. The site uses TrustArc for cookie consent management, reflecting good privacy compliance practices. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and explicit CMS identification.
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.
