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

Sandman Group is a well-established wholesale distributor of consumer electronics in the Baltic region, founded in 1992 and operating the largest warehouse for home appliances in the Baltics. The company serves a broad range of partners including distributors, retail chains, and independent resellers, offering logistics, retail partnerships, and after-sales services. Their market position is strong within Estonia and the wider Baltic states. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, with good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and CAPTCHA protections, but lacks published security policies and comprehensive privacy compliance. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy and security disclosures.

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

9 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

    • 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

Sandman Group's business model focuses on wholesale distribution and logistics for consumer electronics across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive warehouse facilities, established partnerships with leading retail chains, and a broad product portfolio. The company targets distributors, manufacturers, and resellers, leveraging nearly 30 years of market experience. Revenue streams are primarily from wholesale sales and logistics services. The partnership ecosystem includes major brands like Apple, Bosch, and Samsung, indicating strong industry relationships. Growth indicators include a large customer base and significant net sales reported. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital privacy compliance and security transparency to align with evolving regulatory standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent compliance gaps. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. GDPR compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Flatsome theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Google Maps API for interactive features and Google reCAPTCHA v2 for bot protection. Performance is moderate with prefetching and lazy loading techniques observed. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. The technical stack is standard for a corporate website, with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy compliance. No critical technical risks were detected that would impact business operations.
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.
