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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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

Recco holds a strong market position as a technology provider in the outdoor safety and rescue sector, leveraging a partner ecosystem to embed their technology in various products. Their business model focuses on technology licensing and partnerships rather than direct consumer sales alone. The company benefits from a long domain history dating back to 1996, indicating stability and trust. Their target customers include outdoor enthusiasts, manufacturers, and rescue professionals. The website content and structured data reinforce their brand identity and market focus. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests an active digital marketing strategy to engage and grow their audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. The presence of reCAPTCHA on forms and cookie consent mechanisms further enhance security and privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the analysis. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved to strengthen DNS security. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the security maturity is good, supporting business continuity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though enabling DNSSEC and improving accessibility would further strengthen the infrastructure. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content.
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.
