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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, Google APIs

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 business operates primarily as a service provider and reseller of AV products, targeting institutional and corporate clients. Their market position is supported by a long history and regional focus, which likely provides competitive advantages in local expertise and trusted relationships. The presence of case studies and a dedicated shop on Shopify indicates diversified revenue streams. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and limited contact information on the website suggests areas for improvement in customer trust and compliance. The company maintains active social media profiles, enhancing their marketing and customer engagement capabilities.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content, indicating a baseline secure posture. However, there is a lack of advanced security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance security maturity. The missing WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness, which should be addressed to avoid reputational risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  3. Provide clear contact details for security incidents and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its built-in CMS and infrastructure, which simplifies maintenance and provides reliable hosting. The use of jQuery and Plyr indicates reliance on proven JavaScript libraries for interactivity and media playback. Google Tag Manager integration supports analytics and marketing efforts. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. However, the site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are recommended for modernization and compliance. The technical stack is appropriate for the business size and scope but could be enhanced for improved security and user experience.
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.
