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

Vulkan Shop is a German-based e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of technical books, magazines, and eBooks focused on energy, automation, water, and industrial sectors. The website is professionally designed using Magento 2, featuring a comprehensive catalog of specialized publications targeting professionals and specialists in these industries. The platform supports German and English languages and integrates Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with GDPR requirements. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie settings, although explicit security headers and policies are not fully documented. Contact information and terms of service pages are not clearly presented in the analyzed content, which could impact user trust and compliance 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

6 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  3. 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';…
  4. 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

  5. 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

The business operates in a niche market providing specialized technical literature and magazines, positioning itself as a trusted source for professionals in energy and industrial sectors in Germany. The e-commerce model focuses on direct sales of physical and digital publications. The website's structured navigation and categorized content indicate a mature catalog management system. The absence of visible contact details and security policies suggests areas for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory compliance. The use of Magento and integration with Google Analytics reflects a modern digital infrastructure supporting business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie configurations. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is supported by cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy, but further enhancements in security documentation are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including support emails and phone numbers to facilitate customer communication and incident reporting.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to provide a formal channel for vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento 2, leveraging RequireJS, jQuery, and KnockoutJS for frontend interactivity. Google Analytics is integrated for tracking user behavior. The site uses German language primarily with an English option, hosted on German nameservers (ntdns.de). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for an e-commerce platform of this nature. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified in the analyzed content.
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.
