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

2 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 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 positions itself as a niche healthy food brand targeting health-conscious consumers seeking vegan and natural oatmeal products. The company benefits from a multi-market approach with localized domains and languages, enhancing customer reach and experience. Their use of Shopify Plus indicates a medium-sized enterprise with scalable e-commerce capabilities. Marketing efforts include affiliate programs and retargeting via Google Ads and Facebook Pixel, supported by detailed analytics and customer feedback mechanisms. The business shows signs of growth and customer engagement through interactive forms and social media presence. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent brand. The company maintains a consistent and professional digital footprint, supporting its market credibility.

Security posture

The website employs standard security best practices including HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and cookie consent with blocking capabilities. Forms are protected with CAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be considered for enhanced domain security. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are recommended for transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong for an e-commerce site but could be improved with additional policy disclosures and domain security enhancements.

Recommendations

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

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and modern JavaScript modules. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Klaviyo), marketing (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, Awin affiliate), and customer engagement (forms with CAPTCHA). The site uses CDN hosting for performance and includes responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is optimized with preconnects, preloads, and asynchronous script loading. The technical implementation is robust with no major issues detected. Opportunities exist to further enhance security and compliance documentation. The site architecture supports multi-market and multi-language deployments, indicating a mature and scalable infrastructure.
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.
