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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

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

Notino holds a strong market position as a leading European online retailer of perfumes and cosmetics, leveraging a broad product portfolio and frequent promotions to attract consumers. The company benefits from its parent FAP Cosmetics a.s., providing stability and scale. Revenue streams primarily come from direct online sales, supported by marketing and retargeting tools to maximize customer engagement. The target customers are beauty product consumers in Portugal and potentially wider European markets. The company maintains partnerships with marketing and analytics providers to optimize customer experience and conversion. Growth indicators include multi-language support, mobile app promotion, and extensive brand offerings. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and customer service to sustain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of service workers and input masking in session replay indicates attention to privacy and security. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts analyzed. The site complies with GDPR through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure could be improved by publishing dedicated pages or security.txt. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React 18 frontend with React Router for navigation, supported by a suite of analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, New Relic, Exponea, Bloomreach, and AppsFlyer. The site is served over HTTPS with CDN-hosted assets for performance. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to formalize security and compliance documentation to reduce technical debt and improve governance.
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.
