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

6 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 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';…
  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

The company operates a large-scale retail and e-commerce business with a focus on home improvement and gardening sectors. Its market position is strong, supported by a wide product range and multiple service offerings including online sales, in-store shopping, and equipment rental. The presence of sister sites in multiple European countries indicates a broad partnership ecosystem under the OBI Group umbrella. The business model is retail-centric with digital sales channels, targeting consumers interested in DIY and home renovation. Growth indicators include active promotions and a well-maintained online presence. Strategic partnerships with analytics and marketing providers enhance customer engagement and operational insights.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of user inputs. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance user awareness and trust by displaying certifications or compliance badges related to security and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with a modular architecture and extensive use of asynchronous scripts for performance optimization. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Instana, and Kameleoon, enabling detailed user behavior tracking and A/B testing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the infrastructure supports fast content delivery and secure connections. Opportunities exist to further improve performance metrics and reduce technical debt by streamlining third-party dependencies and enhancing caching strategies.
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.
