Risk levelMedium

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

Special Hobby is a European-based company specializing in the production and retail of plastic and resin model kits and accessories, targeting hobbyists and modelers. The website presents a professional e-commerce platform with a broad product catalog including their own production and other well-known brands. The company maintains a multi-lingual presence with dedicated domains for different markets. Technically, the website uses modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and FontAwesome, integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics with privacy-conscious consent settings, and enforces HTTPS for secure communications. Security posture is generally good, though improvements in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are recommended. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is due to EURid privacy policies, which is common for .eu domains and does not raise immediate concerns given the professional website and business presence. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and suitable for its target audience.

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

5 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 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
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  5. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 company operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors, focusing on niche hobbyist markets. Its business model is primarily e-commerce with own production and distribution partnerships. The presence of multiple localized domains indicates a strategy to serve regional markets effectively. The product catalog is extensive and regularly updated, suggesting active business operations. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing customer trust. The company leverages Google Tag Manager for marketing and analytics, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement. No suspicious domains or partners were detected. The company appears medium-sized with a focused market niche.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure login forms with proper autocomplete attributes. Google Tag Manager is configured to deny ad and analytics storage by default, reflecting privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a visible cookie consent banner, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 5.2.3, FontAwesome icons, and jQuery Fancybox for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for marketing and tracking, with consent settings configured to limit data collection. The site is mobile responsive and includes alternate language links for regional targeting. The CMS is custom or not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO meta tags are minimal, with empty description and keywords meta tags, which could be enhanced for better search visibility. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and optimization efforts.
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.
