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

Pet-and-garden.it is a recently launched Italian e-commerce website specializing in pet supplies, garden center products, and agricultural equipment. The site targets pet owners and gardening enthusiasts in Italy, offering a broad catalog of products with a focus on fast shipping and competitive pricing. The business model is retail e-commerce, positioning itself as a convenient online store for essential pet and garden needs. The website demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Technically, the site is built on Magento (OpenMage variant) and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google AdWords, and Actito marketing automation. The site uses HTTPS and includes a GDPR consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are areas for improvement. No privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, representing compliance gaps. The domain registration is recent but consistent with the business launch, with transparent WHOIS data and no suspicious patterns. Overall, the website is functional and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced security headers, published privacy and terms policies, and visible contact information to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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

  3. 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

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

Pet-and-garden.it operates in the retail e-commerce sector, focusing on pet and garden products in the Italian market. Its competitive advantage lies in a wide product range, fast shipping (24h shipping categories), and partnerships with recognized brands such as Kerbl, Kentucky Dogwear, and Zolux. The business targets individual consumers and small agricultural operators. The use of marketing automation and Google advertising indicates active customer acquisition strategies. The site is newly established (2024) and aims to build market presence through online retail channels. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The absence of detailed company legal information limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy reduce its defense-in-depth. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR consent mechanisms are implemented, but no privacy policy is visible, indicating partial compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the site is secure enough for e-commerce but should address compliance and header improvements to strengthen security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to meet legal and GDPR requirements.
  2. Implement and enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add explicit security headers including X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento (OpenMage), a mature e-commerce platform, and uses modern front-end libraries such as Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google AdWords for marketing and analytics. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and preloaded fonts. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site lacks some modern security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
