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

The website 'tcn-nordwest.de – Top-Deals' is a German-language deals aggregator platform presenting a variety of discounted retail products including electronics, home and kitchen items, beauty products, clothing, toys, and games. The business model appears to be affiliate marketing, leveraging Amazon product links to generate revenue. The site also indicates the domain is for sale, suggesting it may be a parked or domain sales platform. The target audience is general consumers interested in online shopping deals. Technically, the website uses standard modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with a clean layout and user-friendly navigation. However, the site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications and does not implement common security headers or privacy policies. The performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by URL) and employs a simple bot mitigation technique by disabling outbound links for one second. However, it lacks security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No contact or incident response information is provided, reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is missing, indicating the domain is unregistered or a placeholder under a domain sales network, which significantly impacts legitimacy and trust. The site is safe in terms of content but lacks transparency and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, providing contact and incident response information, and clarifying domain registration status to improve trust 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

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 retail sector as an affiliate marketing platform focusing on discounted consumer goods. It targets German-speaking consumers looking for deals on Amazon products. The business model relies on affiliate commissions and possibly domain sales. Market positioning is unclear due to lack of company information and domain registration. The site shows moderate branding consistency but lacks trust indicators such as certifications or testimonials. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth potential depends on improving transparency, compliance, and security to build consumer trust.

Security posture

The security posture is basic with HTTPS usage but no visible security headers or advanced protections. The site disables outbound links briefly to mitigate bots but lacks CSRF protection on forms and does not provide privacy or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities are explicitly detected, but the absence of security best practices and compliance measures poses risks. The missing WHOIS data further reduces trust. The site should enhance security headers, implement privacy and cookie policies, and provide clear contact and incident response channels to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear company contact information and incident response contacts for transparency and trust.
  4. Secure forms with anti-CSRF tokens and validate inputs to prevent potential attacks.
  5. Clarify domain registration status and ensure domain legitimacy to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, clean HTML5 and CSS3 structure with embedded JavaScript for live search and bot mitigation. Google Fonts are used for typography. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. SEO is basic with a descriptive title but lacks meta description and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. The hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include adding SEO metadata, accessibility improvements, and security enhancements.
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.
