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

æthero is a small Czech Republic-based e-commerce and digital agency specializing in Shopify platform development, custom app creation, e-commerce optimization, design, and marketing services. The company positions itself as a Shopify partner with a focus on building scalable e-shops and providing complementary applications such as eSyncer for product data synchronization. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand image with client references and clear service offerings. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and a proprietary CMS (Solidpixels). HTTPS is enforced, but security headers are missing, and privacy-related policies are not clearly presented. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the professional presentation. Overall, æthero shows a good digital maturity level with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

æthero operates in the e-commerce and technology sectors, targeting businesses seeking Shopify-based solutions. Their business model revolves around digital agency services including Shopify e-shop development, UX/CX optimization, branding, and marketing. They also develop proprietary Shopify apps to complement their offerings. The company leverages partnerships such as Shopify and Solidpixels CMS. The presence of notable client logos suggests a credible market position. Revenue streams likely include project-based development, app sales, and marketing services. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused niche. Growth potential exists through expanding app offerings and marketing services. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices for data transmission. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which limits transparency. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to enhance website security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet standards and enhance user experience for all users.
  5. Consider making WHOIS registration data public or providing verified business registration information to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Solidpixels CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads multiple fonts from Google Fonts and uses responsive images for performance optimization. The technical implementation is solid with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. However, the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and privacy 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.
