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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 WFE-Shop operates within the energy sector, focusing on electrical trade professionals and guild members in Germany. Its business model centers on providing digital and physical products that facilitate daily operations for electrical craftsmen. The company benefits from partnerships with recognized organizations such as ZVEH and related guild networks, enhancing its market credibility. The platform's revenue streams likely derive from product sales and membership-based pricing models. The clear segmentation between Innungsmitglied and Nicht-Innungsmitglied customers indicates a tailored approach to customer engagement. Growth potential exists through expanding digital offerings and strengthening partnerships within the electrical trade ecosystem.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities, and the absence of explicit HTTP security headers reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact trust in security readiness. The site would benefit from updating third-party libraries, implementing security headers, and publishing clear security policies to enhance its security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento, a widely used e-commerce platform, with a technology stack including Prototype.js, Scriptaculous, jQuery 1.12.1, and various frontend libraries for UI enhancements. Google reCAPTCHA v2 Invisible is used for form protection, and Usercentrics manages cookie consent, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be with 1&1 IONOS, inferred from nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. However, the use of older JavaScript libraries suggests some technical debt. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve security headers, and enhance accessibility to reduce technical risks and improve operational stability.
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.
