0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

zooplus SE operates a professional e-commerce platform focused on pet supplies and pet food in Austria. The website offers a wide range of products including food for cats, dogs, and other animals, as well as accessories and specialty veterinary diets. The business targets pet owners in Austria and positions itself as a leading online retailer in this sector. The platform is well-branded and provides promotional offers to attract customers. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as Next.js and Contentful CMS, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience across devices. The site loads with moderate performance and includes SEO best practices. Security is well implemented with HTTPS and visible buyer protection logos, although explicit security headers and policies are not evident in the provided content. The security posture is solid with no detected vulnerabilities or WAF blocking. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies and the inability to access WHOIS data due to quota limits restrict a full compliance and trust assessment. Contact information is available via a contact page, but no direct emails or phone numbers are found in the HTML snippet. Overall, the website appears trustworthy and professionally managed, but improvements in transparency regarding privacy, cookie consent, and security policies would enhance compliance and user trust.

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

6 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

zooplus SE is a large retail and e-commerce entity specializing in pet products in Austria. Its business model revolves around online sales of pet food and accessories, targeting pet owners with a broad product catalog and promotional discounts. The company leverages a modern digital infrastructure to maintain a competitive market position. The presence of multiple product categories and brand partnerships suggests a mature supply chain and marketing ecosystem. The company likely generates revenue through direct sales and possibly subscription or repeat purchase models. Strategic growth is supported by strong branding and customer engagement via promotions and app-exclusive offers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS encryption and buyer protection indicators. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of a published security policy or incident response information indicate areas for improvement. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies in the analyzed content. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could impact the organization's ability to handle security incidents effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide a dedicated security policy or incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security flaws.
  5. Enhance transparency by including direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered on React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Contentful CMS for content management. It includes jQuery for legacy or specific UI components. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with multiple preloaded scripts and images to improve user experience. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of some security headers and limited visible privacy compliance features suggest technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the 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.
