0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

OBI is a large retail company specializing in building materials, home improvement, and gardening products primarily serving the Polish market. The website offers a comprehensive e-commerce platform with promotions, product listings, and in-store services, targeting general consumers interested in home and garden improvement. The brand is well-established with consistent branding and a broad product range. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Vue.js and integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Instana, and Kameleoon, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and designed with good accessibility and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance performance and security. However, explicit security headers and privacy-related pages like privacy policy and terms of service are not clearly found in the provided content, which is a gap in compliance and transparency. The WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available from the .pl registry, which is unusual for a major retail brand and warrants further verification. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front but should improve transparency on privacy and security policies to enhance compliance and user trust.

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

5 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

OBI holds a strong market position in the retail sector for home improvement and gardening in Poland, supported by a network of sister sites in other European countries. The business model combines physical stores with an online shopping platform, offering promotions and loyalty programs to engage customers. The company leverages advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer experience and conversion. The absence of visible contact information and privacy policies in the HTML content suggests a need for better customer support and compliance communication. The brand's extensive product catalog and promotional campaigns indicate a focus on volume sales and customer retention. Strategic partnerships and sister domains across Europe enhance its market reach and brand recognition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services loaded asynchronously to reduce risk. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy are not clearly identified in the HTML content, which could be improved to mitigate clickjacking and content injection risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance indicators are minimal, with no clear privacy or cookie policy pages found, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security and compliance posture by publishing clear policies and implementing additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies on the website homepage or footer.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  3. Provide visible contact information for security incidents, including an incident response or abuse email address.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS data and ensure domain registration information is accurate and publicly available to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered around Vue.js for frontend rendering, supported by advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Instana, and Kameleoon. The site is optimized for performance with asynchronous script loading and uses Baqend SpeedKit for speed enhancements. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The site demonstrates technical maturity with opportunities to improve security headers and compliance documentation.
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.
