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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 targets consumers interested in wellness and aromatherapy, offering products that cater to various wellbeing needs such as sleep, relaxation, and physical recovery. Their business model is primarily e-commerce retail with additional services like subscriptions and spa treatments. The brand benefits from its association with Walgreens Boots Alliance, enhancing its credibility and market reach. The website's content and navigation are designed to facilitate easy product discovery and purchase, supported by multiple marketing and analytics tools that provide insights into customer behavior and engagement. The presence of certifications like B Corp and numerous customer reviews further strengthens its market position. The company maintains a global footprint with localized content and shipping options, supported by Global-e's cross-border solutions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive set of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security. Forms are protected with hCaptcha to prevent automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response page is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site follows best practices for web security but could enhance its security culture by publishing explicit policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring all inputs have robust validation and monitoring.
  5. Continue to monitor privacy compliance and update policies as regulations evolve.

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing a modern tech stack including Alpine.js for interactivity, Swiper.js for carousels, and Klevu for advanced search capabilities. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Klaviyo, Yotpo, Hotjar, and Ometria, indicating a sophisticated approach to customer engagement and data analysis. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. Mobile optimization is excellent, with responsive design and adaptive images. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and comprehensive meta tags. The technical implementation reflects a mature, well-maintained e-commerce site with good performance and scalability.
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.
