Risk levelMedium

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

Solarbrother is a French company specializing in the design and sale of solar-powered products including lighters, ovens, barbecues, dryers, and chargers. The company operates a niche e-commerce platform targeting environmentally conscious consumers interested in renewable energy solutions. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, enhanced by SEO and performance plugins, and supports multiple languages. The technical infrastructure is modern and optimized for good performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security policies and headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks clear privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the domain registration and business information are consistent and legitimate, supporting a moderate to high trust level.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Solarbrother occupies a specialized market segment in solar energy products, leveraging e-commerce to reach a broad audience in France and potentially other French-speaking regions. The business model focuses on product sales with an emphasis on sustainability and innovation in solar cooking and energy solutions. The company maintains active social media channels to engage customers and promote its offerings. While the website lacks some formal compliance documentation, it demonstrates a professional approach with structured data and marketing integrations. Growth potential exists in expanding product lines and enhancing digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for compliance and trust. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security culture. The use of reputable plugins and performance tools suggests ongoing maintenance, but continuous monitoring and formal security documentation are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure they are up to date and free from vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress and WooCommerce, utilizing popular plugins like Yoast SEO, WPML for multilingual support, and WPRocket for performance optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager and social media pixels for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern web fonts and lazy loading techniques. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of caching and CDN preconnects suggests a focus on speed. Overall, the technical stack is robust for a small to medium-sized e-commerce business.
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.
