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

Hawlik GmbH Pilzbrut operates an e-commerce website specializing in mushroom cultivation products, including mushroom spawn, cultivation kits, dried mushrooms, spices, and educational materials. The website targets consumers interested in home and garden mushroom cultivation, primarily in Germany. The business model is retail-focused with a niche market position supported by a well-structured online shop and product categorization. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and a consent management platform, hosted on Rackspeed infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, consent management implemented, and secure login forms, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency and compliance documentation. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no adult or questionable content is present.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  4. 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

The company is positioned as a specialized retailer in the mushroom cultivation niche, offering a broad product range and educational content to support customers. The business leverages e-commerce technology and third-party marketing tools to reach its audience. The presence of affiliate programs and marketing analytics indicates active digital marketing efforts. The company appears to be a small-sized entity focused on the German market. The website's structure and content suggest a mature digital presence with room for improvement in compliance and direct contact information. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators were found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS, secure login forms including CSRF tokens, and consent management for GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not confirmed, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add explicit company contact information including verified email addresses and phone numbers on the contact page.
  3. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the JTL Shop e-commerce platform with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and slick carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and Visual Website Optimizer for marketing and analytics. Consent management is handled via consentmanager.net. Hosting is provided by Rackspeed with dedicated nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and uses web fonts and SVG logos for branding consistency. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and preloading of fonts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
