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

SONNENTOR is an established Austrian company specializing in organic teas and spices, operating since 1988. The company positions itself as a pioneer in organic and sustainable products, serving customers through both physical retail stores in Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, as well as an online shop. The website reflects a mature e-commerce platform with a focus on organic product offerings and sustainability. Technically, the website employs modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates compliance and security tools like Usercentrics CMP and Google reCAPTCHA, indicating a commitment to user privacy and bot protection. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and some security best practices observed, though additional security headers could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be further investigated. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, but domain registration inconsistencies slightly reduce 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

SONNENTOR operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors focusing on organic food products, specifically teas and spices. Their market position is strong in Central Europe as a pioneer in organic and sustainable products. The business model combines physical retail presence with online sales, targeting environmentally conscious consumers. The company benefits from organic certifications and sustainability claims that enhance brand trust. Their digital presence is supported by modern web technologies and compliance tools, indicating a strategic approach to digital marketing and privacy. Partnerships and subsidiary information are not explicitly found, suggesting a focused brand identity. Growth indicators include multi-country retail stores and a comprehensive online shop. Strategic observations highlight the importance of verifying domain legitimacy to maintain brand trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. The integration of a consent management platform (Usercentrics) supports GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published incident response policy or security contact information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further enhancements in security policy publication and vulnerability disclosure would strengthen the security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct a thorough domain registration audit to resolve WHOIS data inconsistencies and reinforce domain legitimacy.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered around Bootstrap 4.6.2 for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and Usercentrics for consent management. The CMS appears to be Pimcore based on class names and structure, which is a robust platform for content and e-commerce management. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints for external domains. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but has room for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
