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

7 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

  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

  3. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

Zalando.lv operates as an essential e-commerce entity in the fashion retail sector, serving a broad demographic including women, men, and children in Latvia. Its business model centers on online retail with a focus on premium and popular brands, leveraging free shipping and returns as competitive advantages. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, including its parent company Zalando SE and various brand partners. The website's content and navigation are designed to enhance user engagement and conversion, supported by marketing tools and analytics. Growth indicators include a comprehensive brand portfolio and active social media presence. Strategic observations highlight Zalando's emphasis on customer experience, digital maturity, and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and the use of a consent management platform to handle user privacy preferences. The presence of service workers indicates modern web practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy details are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align with industry standards but could benefit from additional hardening and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Provide clear and accessible security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish dedicated security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses for vulnerability reporting and incident communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing users with granular control over their data.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and RequireJS, supported by a modular JavaScript architecture. It uses SVG icons extensively for UI elements and employs a service worker for offline capabilities and performance optimization. The site is hosted on CDN domains under the zalando.net domain, indicating a robust hosting infrastructure. Performance is optimized for fast loading and excellent mobile responsiveness. SEO practices include proper meta tags, canonical URLs, and hreflang attributes. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present, contributing to a good user experience. Technical risks are minimal, with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected in the provided content.
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.
