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

4 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 the competitive European e-commerce fashion outlet sector, leveraging Zalando's brand strength and extensive partner network. Its business model focuses on flash sales and discounted premium brands, appealing to cost-conscious consumers seeking quality products. The presence of multiple country-specific domains indicates a strategic regional expansion. Zalando's corporate backing provides financial stability and operational expertise. The platform's integration with trusted payment methods and transparent policies enhances customer confidence. Growth potential lies in expanding product categories and enhancing customer engagement through apps and marketing tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, consent-based tracking, and incident response contact availability. Use of Sentry for error monitoring and Usercentrics for consent management indicates proactive security and privacy practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers like CSP, HSTS, and a security.txt file suggests opportunities to harden defenses further. Limited visible contact information for security or data protection officers may impact compliance perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis, reflecting good operational security hygiene.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit contact details for the Data Protection Officer to enhance GDPR compliance visibility.
  4. Enhance customer support contact information accessibility on the main website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based front-end with RequireJS for module loading, hosted on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. It employs advanced consent management via Usercentrics and integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for marketing and performance tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and caching strategies. The technical stack reflects a well-maintained platform with opportunities to adopt additional security best practices and optimize loading speeds.
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.
