Risk levelMedium

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

Tchibo is a well-established German retail company offering a diverse range of products including coffee, fashion, furniture, and mobile communications. The website reflects a retail and e-commerce business model targeting a general audience in Germany. The technical infrastructure is based on modern frontend technologies such as Vuetify and likely Vue.js, providing a responsive and moderately optimized user experience. However, the website lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers, which are critical for trust and compliance. The domain registration data is consistent with a legitimate business, supporting the website's credibility. Overall, the site is functional but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features to improve user trust and regulatory 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.

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

Tchibo holds a strong market position in the German retail sector with diversified product lines that cater to a broad customer base. The business model combines physical retail and online sales, leveraging brand recognition in coffee and lifestyle products. The absence of detailed contact and compliance information on the website suggests potential areas for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory adherence. The company appears to operate at a large scale, but no explicit data on founding year or parent company was found. The website's technical maturity is moderate, with opportunities to enhance SEO, accessibility, and security practices to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic. While HTTPS is presumably enabled (not explicitly confirmed in the provided data), there is no evidence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are present, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content, but the absence of security best practices reduces the overall security score. Enhancing security headers, publishing clear policies, and establishing incident response channels are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide incident response contact channels.
  5. Improve website accessibility and SEO features to enhance user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Vuetify, a Vue.js UI framework, indicating a modern frontend technology stack. CSS variables and responsive design elements are present, supporting mobile optimization. However, no CMS or backend technologies are explicitly identified. Performance is moderate based on the complexity of styles and scripts. The site lacks advanced SEO meta tags and accessibility features, which could be improved. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available in the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but has room for modernization and optimization to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
