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

Pinball Garage is a specialized retailer and authorized dealer of new and used pinball machines, offering a broad selection from leading manufacturers such as Stern Pinball, Spooky Pinball, and others. The company operates both an online shop and a physical showroom in Suhl, Germany, targeting pinball enthusiasts and collectors. Their business model combines direct sales, pre-orders, and additional services like powder coating and installations, positioning them as a niche player in the pinball retail market. Technically, the website is built on the ePages e-commerce platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, lazy loading, and responsive design. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and mobile optimization, though performance is moderate. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business location and type. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure forms, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the business, with clear contact information and a comprehensive product offering. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a dedicated security policy, and enabling DNSSEC to further improve trust and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

3 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
  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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 23 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Pinball Garage occupies a niche retail market focused on pinball machines and related accessories. Their competitive advantage lies in being an authorized dealer for major brands and offering a physical showroom experience alongside online sales. Revenue streams include new and used machine sales, pre-orders, accessories, and services such as powder coating and installations. The target customers are pinball enthusiasts, collectors, and event organizers. Growth indicators include a diverse product catalog and active social media presence. The company appears to operate independently without parent or subsidiary affiliations, focusing on specialized retail and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and DNSSEC reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could impact customer trust in case of security incidents. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security culture could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and implementing additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to increase transparency and customer trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ePages e-commerce platform, leveraging JavaScript frameworks and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses modern web fonts and lazy loading for images to optimize loading times. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure. Hosting is managed via Cronon GmbH with DNS servers at rzone.de. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is appropriate for a small to medium-sized retail business but could benefit from additional security and performance 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.
