Medium risk. 7 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.

Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Vapesale24 is a small e-commerce business specializing in the sale of vaping products including nicotine salts, disposable vapes, and e-liquids, targeting primarily European customers. The website is professionally designed using Prestashop CMS and Elementor, featuring multiple language options and an age verification overlay to restrict underage access. The technical infrastructure includes HTTPS encryption and integration of Smartsupp live chat for customer support, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but requires enhancements in privacy and security transparency.

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 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

    • 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

    • High

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 operates in the competitive European vape market, offering a broad product range with fast delivery and low prices as key differentiators. The multi-language support suggests a strategy to capture diverse European markets. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a focus on vaping products. The domain age and registration details align with a recently established business. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The lack of explicit contact information and policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The integration of live chat indicates a focus on customer engagement. Strategic partnerships or payment processors are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain transfer lock, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The age verification overlay is a good compliance feature for age-restricted products. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Security score is moderate but can be improved by implementing recommended best practices and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Prestashop 1.7.8.9 with Elementor for page building, indicating a modern e-commerce platform. The tech stack includes standard web technologies and integration of Smartsupp live chat for customer interaction. Performance is moderate with preconnect and dns-prefetch optimizations for fonts and site resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
