Founded in 2010, the company offers remote management platforms and services that enable businesses to monitor and control their vending operations efficiently. Their market position is that of a specialized B2B SaaS and IoT provider targeting vending operators and coffee machine businesses. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with multi-language support and a clear focus on their core services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor, with integrations including Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA v3 for security and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers and policies could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS, reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration is consistent with the business age and shows no suspicious patterns, enhancing trustworthiness.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Vendon operates in the technology sector, focusing on IoT and telemetry solutions for vending and coffee machine businesses. Their business model is B2B SaaS combined with hardware IoT integration, targeting operators who require remote management and payment processing capabilities. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a decade-long market presence. Their competitive advantage lies in specialized remote management solutions tailored to vending and coffee industries. The website indicates a global or multi-regional target audience with multi-language support. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly listed, and no direct payment processors or related domains were identified. The company leverages modern marketing tools like ConvertKit and Google Tag Manager to engage and analyze visitors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented to protect forms from abuse. A cookie consent mechanism is present, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure pages suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly detected, which could be enhanced to mitigate common web threats. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Ensure all third-party scripts and plugins are regularly updated and monitored for vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA v3 for analytics and security. The site is multi-lingual, supporting several European languages, indicating a broad target market. Performance is moderate, with caching plugins likely in use (based on minified CSS/JS cache paths). Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) are properly implemented. Hosting details are limited, but domain registration is through GoDaddy. Technical risks include potential lack of advanced security headers and reliance on third-party scripts, which require ongoing maintenance.
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.
