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

Active+ Shop is a newly established e-commerce retailer based in New Zealand, specializing in orthopedic braces, supports, and footwear. The business operates on the Shopify platform, leveraging its robust e-commerce infrastructure to serve customers primarily in the New Zealand market. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with a clear focus on health-related products. Technically, the site uses modern technologies including Shopify's Flex theme, Google Tag Manager, and hCaptcha for form security. The SSL configuration is good, ensuring secure transactions and data protection. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance posture. Security best practices such as security headers and incident response information are also absent, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the site is functional, safe, and trustworthy for general consumers but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve 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

5 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.

    • 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.

    • 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

The business targets a niche market of consumers seeking orthopedic and support products, positioning itself as a specialized retailer within the healthcare e-commerce sector. The use of Shopify indicates a focus on scalability and ease of management. The domain registration is recent and consistent with the business's founding year, suggesting a legitimate startup. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Shopify Analytics shows an intent to monitor and optimize marketing efforts. The lack of direct contact information and formal policies may limit customer confidence and regulatory compliance. The partnership with activeplus.co.nz as the main site suggests a broader brand ecosystem. Strategic growth could focus on expanding product lines, improving customer engagement, and enhancing compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to protect forms, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicates limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. To strengthen security, the business should implement recommended HTTP security headers, publish clear security and privacy policies, and establish a vulnerability disclosure program. These steps will enhance trust and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to obtain user consent for tracking.
  3. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support email and phone number on the website.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Flex theme version 2.0.9, which is a modern and flexible e-commerce theme. It uses jQuery 3.3.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager for marketing analytics. The site preloads critical CSS and JS assets for performance optimization. Hosting is provided by Dreamscape Networks International Pte Ltd, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for website and search actions. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and preconnects to key domains. Technical debt is low given the use of Shopify's managed platform, but improvements can be made in accessibility and security headers.
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.
