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.

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.

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
Business profile
The site occupies a local niche in the Morioka beauty market, focusing on hair removal services. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and affiliate partnerships with established salons like TBC. Revenue streams are primarily affiliate commissions. The target customers are local women seeking beauty treatments. Growth potential depends on expanding affiliate partnerships and improving site trustworthiness. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate networks and tracking providers. The site operates as a small business with no parent or subsidiary companies identified.
Security posture
The current security posture is basic with no advanced protections or disclosures. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates compliance gaps, especially under GDPR or similar regulations. Tracking scripts are present but without clear user consent mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not found, limiting readiness for security events. The site should prioritize implementing HTTPS enforcement, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and a security.txt file to improve security culture and compliance.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Provide explicit contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
Deploy a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness.
Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a simple technology stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. SEO is supported by canonical tags and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with no major issues but mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. Tracking is implemented via third-party analytics scripts. There is room for modernization by adopting responsive design frameworks, improving accessibility, and enhancing security configurations to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
