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

VendoStore operates as an e-commerce platform specializing in software and entertainment applications, providing customers with access to products from leading providers along with purchase tracking and customer support services. The business appears to be a small technology-focused company with a niche market position. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting a general audience interested in software purchases. Technically, the site uses a modern JavaScript stack centered on jQuery libraries and is hosted on Amazon AWS CloudFront CDN, ensuring reliable delivery. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are extensively used for tracking, although no cookie consent mechanism is present. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. The site lacks a CMS and uses custom scripts. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and has domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent or GDPR-specific indicators. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which limits direct communication channels. Overall, the website is moderately secure and professionally maintained but could improve in privacy compliance, security headers, and transparency. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Strategic improvements in security policies and privacy mechanisms would enhance 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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

VendoStore is positioned as a specialized e-commerce platform focusing on software and entertainment products. Its business model revolves around direct sales and subscription management with customer support portals. The company appears to have a stable market presence since 2010, leveraging partnerships with software providers. Revenue streams likely include software sales and subscription fees. The target customers are general consumers and businesses seeking software solutions. The partnership with Vendo Services GmbH suggests a broader corporate ecosystem. Growth indicators are moderate with a focused product catalog. The company uses Amazon AWS infrastructure and Google marketing tools, indicating investment in reliable technology and analytics.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security level. No published security policy or incident response contact channels limit transparency and readiness. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance indicators suggests privacy compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple Google Analytics IDs indicates extensive user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from enhanced security controls and privacy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance customer support and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based frontend with multiple plugins for UI and effects, hosted on Amazon AWS CloudFront CDN for content delivery. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site lacks a detected CMS and appears to be custom-built. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The technical stack is stable but could be modernized with newer frameworks and improved accessibility and SEO practices. Security technical debt includes missing DNSSEC and security headers.
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.
