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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

The business operates in the e-commerce sector, specifically retailing officially licensed movie merchandise. It benefits from AMC Theatres' brand recognition and leverages Shopify's platform for online sales. The target audience includes movie enthusiasts and AMC customers. Marketing efforts include use of Facebook Pixel and Klaviyo for customer engagement and retargeting. The site lacks visible contact information and formal policy pages, which could impact customer trust and compliance. The domain registration is consistent with a legitimate new business venture. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data is present, supporting legitimacy. The business model is direct-to-consumer retail with potential for growth through exclusive AMC merchandise offerings.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Shopify's secure checkout infrastructure, which is a strong security foundation. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly found in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy pages are found, indicating limited transparency on security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add visible contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance customer service and credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Avalanche theme and integrates multiple JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Accessible Slick Carousel, LazyLoad, and tsparticles for UI and performance enhancements. It uses Ketch for consent management and Klaviyo for marketing automation. The site loads fonts from Typekit and Google Fonts, and uses Fancybox for image modals. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN with domain registration through CSC Corporate Domains. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include missing explicit security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring.
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.
