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. 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';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 is positioned as a niche regional wine producer with a focus on quality and tradition combined with innovation. Their business model centers on direct consumer sales and event participation, which supports brand visibility and customer engagement. The company appears to be small-sized with a localized market focus in Austria. The website content and structure support a clear customer journey from product discovery to purchase. The presence of detailed product descriptions and event schedules indicates active marketing efforts. The company leverages social media (Facebook) for outreach. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. The business benefits from a consistent branding strategy and trust signals such as GDPR compliance and transparent contact details.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small business site. HTTPS is properly configured, and cookie consent is implemented using a recognized tool (Tarteaucitron). No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is a potential area for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which could be added to enhance trust and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The site uses standard WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy or incident response page with contact information for reporting security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider adding a comprehensive privacy policy page with detailed data retention and processing information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, ensuring a visually consistent and mobile-friendly experience. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and WordPress.com domains, indicating reliable hosting infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image sizes and script loading. SEO is well addressed via Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized e-commerce sites and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
