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

SteeleFurniture.com is a small European-based iron furniture manufacturer and seller, offering catalogs and an online webshop for their products. The website content is minimal but functional, targeting general consumers interested in iron furniture. The technical infrastructure relies on older but stable web technologies such as jQuery 3.2.1, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome 4.7.0, hosted likely via Combell NV as indicated by the registrar and nameservers. The website includes a cookie consent mechanism but lacks critical privacy and security documentation such as privacy policies or terms of service. Security posture is basic, with no DNSSEC enabled and no visible security headers, though the domain status clientTransferProhibited is a positive indicator. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but it shows room for improvement in security and compliance.

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

7 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 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 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 business operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically iron furniture, with a focus on European markets. The business model includes catalog distribution and online sales through a webshop. The company appears to be newly established in 2023, consistent with the domain registration date. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, and no social media or partner links are present. The website branding is moderately consistent but lacks trust signals such as certifications or customer testimonials. The absence of contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low to moderate. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers via clientTransferProhibited status, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. The website lacks security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The absence of privacy policies and contact information for security incidents indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. No vulnerable libraries were detected, but the use of older jQuery versions may pose potential risks if not patched. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to latest secure versions and conduct regular security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, but versions are outdated which may introduce security risks. Hosting is likely provided by Combell NV, consistent with the registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization or accessibility features detected. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. The site lacks CMS identification and does not use modern frameworks or platforms. The cookie consent implementation is a positive aspect for privacy compliance. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but dated and could benefit from modernization 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.
