Risk levelMedium

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

Grupo Soma is a large Brazilian retail group operating a platform of multiple fashion brands including Animale, Farm, and Hering among others. The website serves as a corporate and investor relations portal, providing information about the company, its brands, sustainability efforts, and compliance policies. The target audience includes consumers and investors interested in the fashion retail sector in Brazil. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses modern JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics for tracking. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a significant security concern. Security headers are partially implemented but critical TLS protocols and HSTS are missing, reducing the overall security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust. Business credibility is supported by clear brand listings and compliance pages but lacks explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

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

Grupo Soma holds a strong market position in the Brazilian retail fashion industry, managing a portfolio of well-known brands. The business model focuses on brand platform management and retail operations. The company targets fashion consumers and investors, leveraging digital channels for communication and marketing. The presence of investor relations and sustainability pages indicates a mature corporate governance approach. The use of Cloudflare and Amazon CloudFront for DNS and CDN services suggests a focus on performance and availability. However, the absence of HTTPS may impact customer trust and SEO rankings. The company uses Google Analytics and OneTrust for marketing and compliance, indicating awareness of data privacy regulations. No direct contact emails or phone numbers were found, which may limit direct customer engagement.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are present, critical protections such as HSTS and modern TLS protocols are missing. No OCSP stapling or session resumption mechanisms are enabled, which could affect both security and performance. The DNS setup uses Cloudflare, which can provide security benefits, but the lack of SSL negates many advantages. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent banner and a detailed privacy policy, but incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not found. Overall, the site requires immediate SSL implementation and enhanced TLS configuration to meet modern security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance trust and compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.5 with a custom theme and uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Carousel, Lodash, Moment.js, and Highstock for interactive features. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery. Performance is moderate with caching enabled via W3 Total Cache. SEO is well implemented using Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The lack of HTTPS and SSL certificate is a critical technical debt that impacts security and user trust. The site includes cookie consent via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
