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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention sharp.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for sharp.at right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Sharp operates in the technology sector with a diversified product and service offering spanning business solutions and consumer electronics. Its market positioning as a leading innovator with over 100 years of history is supported by a wide range of products such as multifunction printers, digital displays, and smart home devices. The business model combines manufacturing with service and support offerings, targeting a broad customer base from SMEs to large corporations. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem evident from multiple linked domains for support, training, and sales. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and expansion of digital services like Synappx. The website content and structure reflect a strategic focus on both B2B and B2C markets, leveraging digital channels for engagement and support.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable consent management platform, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are important for transparency and trust. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses secure forms, but the lack of visible security best practices documentation and contact channels for security incidents is a gap. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response page including contact information for security issues.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact emails and phone numbers for customer support and security-related inquiries to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern front-end libraries like Swiper.js for UI components and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site uses a cookie consent management platform from cookielaw.org, indicating compliance efforts. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and responsive images for various screen sizes. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data describing the organization and webpage. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, though improvements in security headers and explicit privacy documentation would enhance the overall technical maturity.
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.
