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

The website 'sovd-tv.de – Top-Deals' functions primarily as a domain-for-sale landing page combined with an affiliate marketing platform showcasing discounted product deals across multiple categories such as electronics, home & kitchen, beauty, clothing, and toys. The business model appears to rely on affiliate commissions from Amazon product links and domain sales. The site targets general consumers interested in bargain shopping, primarily German-speaking users. Technically, the site uses standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with Google Fonts integration and dynamic search features. However, it lacks modern security practices such as HTTPS enforcement and security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact or company information is disclosed, which negatively impacts trust and compliance. The WHOIS data indicates the domain is unregistered or parked, raising legitimacy concerns. Overall, the site has moderate content quality and usability but poor security and compliance posture.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

The website operates in the e-commerce sector as an affiliate marketing and domain sales platform. Its market positioning is unclear due to the lack of company information and domain registration data. The business model leverages Amazon affiliate links to generate revenue from product deals. The target audience is broad, focusing on consumers seeking discounts in various product categories. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The site lacks trust indicators such as certifications or customer testimonials, limiting its competitive advantage. Growth potential is uncertain given the domain's unregistered status and minimal business transparency.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is weak. There is no indication of HTTPS usage or security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. Affiliate links are initially disabled and enabled after a delay to mitigate bot clicks, which is a positive practice. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, contact information for incident response, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates poor compliance with GDPR and general security best practices. The site does not expose sensitive data but lacks robust protections and transparency, increasing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HSTS.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  3. Publish clear contact information including a data protection officer or security contact.
  4. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, clean HTML5 and CSS3 design with JavaScript for dynamic search functionality. Google Fonts are used for typography, and product images are sourced from Amazon's media servers. The site is mobile responsive with a grid layout for product cards. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a lightweight custom build. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts or trackers. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. SEO is minimal with only a title tag and no meta description or Open Graph tags. The lack of HTTPS and security headers is a significant technical risk. The site could benefit from modernization including SEO improvements, accessibility enhancements, and security hardening.
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.
