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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

The company leverages a WooCommerce-based WordPress platform to deliver its services, integrating well-known brands and a variety of product categories. The presence of customer testimonials and clear contact information enhances trust. The partnership with PayPal for payment processing indicates a secure and reliable transaction environment. The business targets a niche market of organic and natural product consumers in Malta, with a focus on quality and ethical sourcing. Growth indicators include a diverse product catalog and active social media presence. Strategic partnerships with brands like Bio-D, Biosolis, and Purasana strengthen its market position.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates secure payment gateways, which are key strengths. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response and security policy pages are absent, which could be addressed to improve security maturity. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including penetration testing and employee security awareness training.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, utilizing popular plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Mailchimp integration for marketing. The front-end uses jQuery, Flickity carousel, and other JavaScript libraries to enhance user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident. The site uses Google Site Kit for analytics and tracking, and PayPal SDK for payments. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of some security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for modernization and improvement to reduce operational risks.
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.
