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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

The company positions itself as a specialized yarn and knitting accessories retailer with a clear niche market. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supported by a professional website with clear navigation and product categorization. The presence of social media channels on Facebook and Instagram supports community engagement and marketing efforts. The partnership with wdmarket.lv as a Shopify partner indicates a professional e-commerce setup. The company appears to be small in size, focusing on quality and curated product offerings rather than mass-market sales.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security best practices such as cookie consent banners and hCaptcha for form protection. Privacy and terms of service policies are published, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security maturity. No vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the website content or scripts. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification but does not indicate immediate risk.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details if applicable under GDPR.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data availability or use domain privacy services transparently to improve domain legitimacy confidence.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance.

Performance is optimized with fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are present, including ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support.

The technical stack is modern and well maintained, with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected.
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.
