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

Pet & Garden is an established Swiss online retailer specializing in pet supplies, garden products, and agricultural equipment. The website offers a broad catalog of products with a focus on fast shipping and customer service, targeting pet owners, gardeners, and farmers primarily in Switzerland and German-speaking regions. The business model centers on e-commerce retail with a medium-sized market presence and a consistent brand image. Technically, the website is built on a Magento-based platform (OpenMage variant) and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and Actito for marketing automation. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and product categorization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and implements a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing, and no direct contact information or security incident response details are provided, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is secure, professional, and trustworthy, but enhancing transparency and compliance documentation would strengthen its security posture 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. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 in the retail sector focusing on pet and garden products, serving a niche but broad audience including pet owners and agricultural customers. Its competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive product range, fast shipping (24h dispatch), and a multilingual approach (German and French content). The business leverages partnerships with well-known brands such as Kerbl, Martin Sellier, and Kentucky Dogwear, indicating a strong supplier network. The e-commerce platform supports marketing and retargeting efforts through Google and Actito, suggesting an active digital marketing strategy. Growth potential exists in expanding contact transparency and compliance documentation to meet evolving regulatory requirements and customer expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and a consent management platform to handle user privacy preferences. Security headers are minimal but present, and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. Overall, the site is secure for e-commerce operations but would benefit from enhanced documentation and security headers to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incidents.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a Magento-based CMS (OpenMage), which is a robust e-commerce platform. It employs modern web fonts, responsive design, and slick carousel for UI elements. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and Actito, indicating a well-instrumented marketing stack. The site loads external resources from trusted domains and uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image loading and lazy loading implementation. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine understanding.
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.
