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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Retail Consult positions itself as an essential player in retail technology consulting, targeting retail organizations undergoing digital transformation. Their business model revolves around delivering tailored technology solutions and services that drive competitive advantage. The company demonstrates a global footprint with offices in multiple countries and a broad client portfolio. Strategic partnerships and certifications enhance their credibility. The website content and client success stories indicate a focus on innovation and client satisfaction, supporting growth and market differentiation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, explicit security headers are not detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages are found, which could be beneficial for transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security measures are adequate but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact information for security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider publishing a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap Slider, and modern JavaScript modules for UI and functionality. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are employed for tracking and analytics, while CookieYes manages cookie consent with a customizable banner. The site loads multiple videos dynamically to optimize performance. The presence of asynchronous script loading and deferred modules indicates attention to performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but appear stable. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for minor improvements in security headers and accessibility.
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.
