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

The website www.pontricoul.com is a Japanese language platform focused on recommending and ranking alcohol-free cosmetic products, targeting consumers with sensitive skin seeking gentle skincare options. The business model relies primarily on affiliate marketing, linking users to purchase recommended products. The site content is well-structured with product descriptions and rankings, but lacks comprehensive business and contact information. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. The site is moderately optimized for SEO but uses an uncommon Shift_JIS charset which may impact accessibility and indexing. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are basic. No security headers or HTTPS status were verifiable from the data provided. From a security perspective, the site does not provide privacy or cookie policies, lacks contact emails or phone numbers, and has no visible security or incident response policies. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Tracking scripts from Research Artisan Pro are present, indicating moderate user tracking without clear privacy compliance. Overall, the site presents moderate business credibility and content quality but has significant gaps in privacy compliance, security posture, and transparency. Strategic improvements in these areas are recommended to enhance 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

7 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
    • 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';…

  2. 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
  • 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 website operates in the retail sector focusing on niche alcohol-free cosmetics for sensitive skin consumers in Japan. Its competitive advantage lies in curated product rankings and affiliate marketing partnerships, primarily with A8.net. The business targets a specific demographic interested in gentle skincare, leveraging product reviews and rankings to drive affiliate sales. The site links to numerous external domains related to cosmetics and beauty, indicating a broad affiliate ecosystem. However, the lack of company legal information, contact details, and WHOIS transparency limits perceived credibility. Growth potential depends on improving trust signals and expanding direct customer engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to handle security incidents effectively. Tracking scripts are present but without clear user consent mechanisms. The missing WHOIS data further reduces trust and raises legitimacy concerns. Overall, the site is vulnerable to trust and compliance risks and should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, privacy policies, and transparent contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Publish clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to enhance legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without use of modern CMS or frameworks. The use of Shift_JIS charset is outdated and may affect SEO and accessibility negatively. The site includes affiliate marketing scripts and tracking pixels from Research Artisan Pro. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are basic but functional. There is no evidence of advanced technical infrastructure or hosting details. Technical debt includes lack of HTTPS enforcement and missing security best practices.
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.
