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

3 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"

  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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

3Bears targets health-conscious and vegan consumers across Europe, selling directly via e-commerce. The company benefits from a strong multi-market presence with localized languages and currencies. Its business model focuses on direct online sales supported by customer feedback forms and active marketing via affiliate programs and tracking pixels. The brand maintains consistent and professional content and branding, supported by a medium-sized operation founded in 2004. The absence of phone contact but presence of email and forms suggests a digitally focused customer service approach. Partnerships with affiliate networks and marketing platforms enhance its market reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain locking statuses to prevent unauthorized domain changes, reflecting good baseline security. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are actively managed with blocking mechanisms for tracking scripts until consent is given. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of a published security policy or incident response plan are gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, which could improve transparency and trust. Third-party scripts are numerous but from reputable sources. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize risk from dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using modern JavaScript modules and a well-structured CSS design system. It leverages multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and customer feedback, including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Klaviyo, and affiliate networks. Performance is optimized with CDN hosting and preconnect hints. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The technical implementation is robust and modern, supporting a seamless user experience and multi-market localization. Opportunities exist to further improve DNS security and formalize security documentation.
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.
