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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. 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 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

Webmatch operates in the e-commerce sector, targeting a broad audience from small retailers to large enterprises, including internationally recognized brands. Their competitive advantage lies in their deep expertise in composable commerce architectures and multi-platform integrations, enabling scalable and flexible e-commerce solutions. Revenue streams are primarily from consulting, development, and ongoing support services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with technology providers like Shopware and commercetools, enhancing their market reach and technical capabilities. Growth indicators include recent high-profile case studies and awards. Strategic observations highlight their focus on personalized client engagement and comprehensive service offerings that cover the entire e-commerce lifecycle.

Security posture

Webmatch exhibits a solid security posture with modern TLS protocols, strong cipher suites, and email authentication mechanisms (SPF and DMARC). However, the absence of DNSSEC and CAA records indicates room for improvement in DNS security. The lack of HSTS and OCSP stapling reduces HTTPS robustness. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, which could impact transparency and trust. GDPR compliance is well addressed through cookie consent management and privacy policies. The current security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional DNS security measures and publishing clear security policies and vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and reliability.
  3. Deploy DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  4. Add CAA DNS records to restrict which certificate authorities can issue certificates for the domain.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and a clear security policy page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React/Next.js, Shopware, and commercetools, supported by a composable commerce architecture. Hosting is provided by maxcluster, optimized for Shopware performance. The site uses advanced search and personalization technologies like Algolia and Storyblok CMS for content management. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 6.3 seconds and a large number of resources, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with SEO best practices implemented via meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include missing DNS security features and partial SSL enhancements. Overall, the infrastructure is robust but could benefit from performance tuning 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.
