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

Anchorage Daily News Store operates as a niche e-commerce retailer specializing in Alaska-themed apparel, merchandise, and local artist collaborations. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Symmetry theme, leveraging a mature e-commerce infrastructure with integrations for marketing, analytics, and fulfillment. The store targets consumers interested in uniquely Alaskan products, positioning itself as a regional specialty retailer with a focused product catalog. Technically, the site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA for forms, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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
  2. 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 operates a small-sized retail e-commerce model focused on branded and local artist merchandise related to Alaska. Its market position is niche and regional, appealing to customers seeking Alaskan-themed products. Revenue streams likely include direct online sales of apparel, gifts, and collectibles. The company leverages Shopify's ecosystem for hosting, payments, and analytics, and partners with services like Printful for fulfillment and Omnisend for marketing automation. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports community engagement. The business model is straightforward retail with a focus on quality and local culture, with no indications of complex partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and CAPTCHA protections. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to minimize supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance privacy and data protection disclosures, including appointing or naming a data protection officer if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Symmetry theme version 6.0.3, employing modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Google Fonts. It integrates multiple third-party services for reviews (Stamped.io), marketing (Omnisend, Autoketing), fulfillment (Printful), and analytics (Google Analytics, Shopify Analytics). The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. The technical infrastructure is modern and robust, though the site could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security policies to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
