NIS2 Art. 21(2)
The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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.
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
Observed on the first page load as a new visitor, before any consent choice; Guard does not click the banner. The site set 12 analytics or marketing cookies: Adobe Audience Manager (demdex, AMCVS_0AAF22CE52827A080A490D4D%40AdobeOrg, AMCV_0AAF22CE52827A080A490D4D%40AdobeOrg, mbox); Adobe Analytics (s_ecid, s_cc); Google Analytics (_ga_4SVMV7SBDS, _ga, _gid, _gat_gtag_UA_74658059_1); Google (_gcl_au). No consent banner or consent platform was detected (Guard scans from the EU, so EU-only banners …
What to do: Load analytics and marketing tags only after the visitor opts in, using a consent banner that offers accept and reject with equal prominence.
Outdated scripts and CMS versions are how most small-business sites get compromised; a security.txt file tells researchers where to report what they find.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
