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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  2. 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"

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 manufacturing and retail sectors, specializing in polyester shell pools and related installation services. Their business model includes direct sales and installation, supported by a network of pool installers. The parent company, TEAM HORNER, is a global leader in pool equipment, enhancing the brand's credibility. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a strong French market focus and some international presence through multilingual support. Partnerships with various pool-related suppliers and service providers are evident. The company emphasizes quality, innovation, and customer service, leveraging 50 years of experience and insurance guarantees to build trust. Growth indicators include a large catalog of models and active marketing via social media and video content.

Security posture

The website employs a valid SSL certificate but does not support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3), which is a significant security gap. The Content-Security-Policy header is set to upgrade insecure requests, which is positive. No HSTS policy is enabled, and DNSSEC and CAA records are absent, reducing domain security. No published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism was found. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant plugin, and tracking is limited to Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel with user consent. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in encryption protocols, security headers, and transparency to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to secure data in transit.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  4. Add DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security.
  5. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor and premium add-ons, providing a rich user experience and multilingual support. Hosting on Hostinger with LiteSpeed caching contributes to fast performance. The tech stack includes PHP 8.1.31, jQuery, Swiper, and FontAwesome. SEO and accessibility are well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, lacking support for secure protocols. The site uses multiple third-party integrations for marketing and analytics, managed with GDPR compliance. Technical debt appears low, but security modernization is needed to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
