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

4 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 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 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

Solarplexius holds a competitive position in the automotive sun protection sector, leveraging a multi-country presence to reach diverse European customers. Their key competitive advantages include a durable, easy-to-install product and a large, satisfied customer base. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supported by affiliate marketing and digital advertising. The company maintains active social media channels and partnerships with certification bodies to enhance credibility. Growth indicators include extensive product offerings and localized content. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding security transparency and incident response readiness to further strengthen customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page indicates a gap in transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or page to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to reduce supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security through clear messaging and documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack combining WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Vue.js for interactive components. Performance is moderate with preloading and asynchronous script loading. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and hreflang for internationalization. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, contributing to a good user experience. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain and content delivery appear stable. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require vigilant management to avoid vulnerabilities or performance degradation.
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.
