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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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

Stova operates as a medium-sized retail chain targeting professionals and consumers in construction and gardening sectors. Their business model includes product sales, tool rental, and customer loyalty programs. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Google Analytics and social media platforms to engage customers. The domain age and registration data support the legitimacy and stability of the business. No suspicious patterns or privacy protection masking were detected, reinforcing business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and no visible sensitive data exposure. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages and incident response contacts suggests potential gaps in security governance. Additional security headers and regular vulnerability assessments are recommended to enhance protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact details.
  2. Add advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive contact information including phone and email.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.2.21 with popular plugins like Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Complianz GDPR. It uses Bootstrap and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Hosting is likely provided by Websupport based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO practices are well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site could benefit from modernizing to newer WordPress versions and optimizing loading speed further.
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.
