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

7 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

OBI operates as a major retail chain in Central Europe with localized websites for multiple countries, including Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. The business model focuses on both online and offline sales, supported by value-added services. The company leverages a strong brand presence and consistent marketing strategies across regions. The website content and structure support a broad target audience from casual consumers to professional buyers. The presence of multiple sister sites indicates a well-established partnership and regional market strategy. The company appears to have a stable market position with a large product offering and comprehensive customer engagement tools.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and implements key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options. Forms appear to use CSRF tokens and scripts are loaded asynchronously to reduce attack surface. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could delay reporting and mitigation of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and privacy impact assessments.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with modular script loading and performance optimizations such as Baqend SpeedKit. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools for user tracking and A/B testing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the use of multiple asset domains suggests a distributed CDN infrastructure. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security transparency.
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.
