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

8 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.

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

The company targets end consumers in the Altendorf SZ region and surrounding areas, focusing on retail sales and service of household appliances. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized service, a large showroom with the latest models, and partnerships with premium brands. Revenue streams include direct sales, repair services, and an online webshop. The business ecosystem includes partner sites such as Kafi-Land and Ansaro, enhancing their product offerings. Growth indicators include a well-maintained online presence and active social media channels. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong local engagement and expanding digital marketing to increase webshop sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA protecting user interactions. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing, representing a compliance gap. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident on the site. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small retail business but could be enhanced to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress platform with popular plugins for SEO, page building, and sliders, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image loading and script management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site uses Google Fonts and Google Maps APIs, which are standard but add external dependencies. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms suggests areas for modernization. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
