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. 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company targets Christian consumers in Germany, offering a wide range of products including books, music, gifts, and calendars. SCM Hänssler benefits from its affiliation with the SCM Verlagsgruppe, enhancing its market credibility. The website's clear navigation, extensive filtering options, and professional design support effective customer engagement. The use of trusted certifications and clear contact channels further strengthens customer confidence. The business operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors with a medium-sized footprint, focusing on niche Christian content. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and enhancing marketing transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating compliance with GDPR and basic security best practices. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files suggests gaps in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of Magento implies reliance on a widely supported platform, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities is recommended. Security headers are not explicitly observed, representing an area for enhancement to mitigate common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they comply with privacy and security standards.
  5. Enhance marketing transparency by disclosing all tracking and advertising partners explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Magento e-commerce platform, utilizing JavaScript, CSS, and SVG for interactive and visual elements. It integrates Google Analytics and Matomo for user behavior tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, with structured navigation and filtering options. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and optimization. The technical infrastructure appears stable and professionally maintained, though additional security hardening and modern best practices could be adopted to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
