Risk levelMedium

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

VAN GRAAF International is a European omni-channel fashion retailer established in 2001, operating 16 physical stores across multiple countries and online stores in Germany and Poland. The company emphasizes sustainability and digital transformation as core strategic pillars. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and includes privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and consent management, but lacks published security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, warranting further verification. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and trustworthy from a content perspective but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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 holds a strong market position in European fashion retail with a medium-sized footprint and a focus on omni-channel sales. Its business model integrates physical retail with e-commerce, targeting fashion-conscious consumers across several European countries. The partnership with Peek & Cloppenburg and a dedicated career site indicate a structured corporate ecosystem. The company’s sustainability commitment aligns with current market trends, enhancing brand value. However, the lack of visible direct contact information and missing WHOIS data may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to invest in digital marketing and analytics, leveraging Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for consent management.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, demonstrating good privacy practices. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in hardening the web server configuration. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which could pose reputational risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and verifying domain registration.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and compliance.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers on the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Key observations

  1. Website is fully accessible with no blocking or WAF challenges.
  2. Content is professionally presented and relevant to a European fashion retail company.
  3. No direct contact emails or phone numbers found on the company page.
  4. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with consent management.
  5. No explicit security policy or incident response information published.
  6. WHOIS data is missing, which reduces trustworthiness of domain registration.
  7. Social media presence includes Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
  8. Use of modern web technologies and CMS (WordPress) with common plugins.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and Contact Form 7 plugins, indicating a common and well-supported technology stack. Usercentrics is used for consent management, and Google Tag Manager is implemented for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some large images but overall good loading behavior. Accessibility is basic but present. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
