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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

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

Vesto AG operates in the retail and transportation sectors, focusing on bicycle sales and related services. Their business model combines product sales with value-added services such as repairs and bike fitting, targeting a broad customer base from casual riders to sports enthusiasts and families. The company leverages partnerships with well-known brands and service centers, enhancing its market credibility. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with active marketing via newsletters and social media. Growth indicators include regular promotions and events. The partnership ecosystem includes Swiss Primebike Group and Shimano Service Center, reflecting strong industry integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and bot management via Cloudflare. The cookie consent mechanism is detailed and GDPR-compliant, offering users granular control over cookie categories. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance trust signals by adding certifications or testimonials related to security and service quality.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js (Vue.js framework) and styled with Tailwind CSS, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end architecture. The backend CMS is Strapi, a headless CMS, which supports flexible content management. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is optimized with preloading and prefetching of assets, responsive images, and mobile-friendly design. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are present. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, with no significant technical debt or performance bottlenecks observed.
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.
