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.

Priority findings

4 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';…

  2. 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

Volksversand.de holds a strong market position as a trusted online pharmacy in Germany, serving over 3 million customers. Its business model focuses on e-commerce sales of medicines and health-related products, supplemented by a bonus points loyalty program and free shipping incentives. The company leverages partnerships with Trusted Shops for certification and customer trust. The target customer segment is broad, encompassing general consumers interested in health, wellness, and family care products. The website's comprehensive product categories and clear navigation support customer engagement and retention. Growth indicators include active promotions and a direct order form facilitating easy purchases. The absence of explicit parent or subsidiary company information suggests an independent operation or a single brand focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. Forms use secure POST methods, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. There is no public security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce pharmacy but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security defenses.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware CMS platform, using modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Trusted Shops for certification and customer trust. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloads fonts and scripts for performance. However, no advanced frameworks or platforms beyond Shopware are detected. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. Accessibility is basic, and SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured navigation. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
