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

Assortion is a small e-commerce focused SaaS company offering a Shopify app that provides personalized product recommendations to increase average order value through upsells and cross-sells. The company targets Shopify store owners seeking to improve customer engagement and sales performance. The website is professionally designed using Webflow, integrates seamlessly with Shopify, and includes features such as product quick view popups and real-time recommendations. The technical infrastructure is modern and performant, leveraging Google Tag Manager for analytics and Webflow hosting for delivery. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR indicators. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional online presence. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy from a user perspective but would benefit from improved transparency and security documentation.

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. 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. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

    • 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

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

Assortion occupies a niche in the e-commerce ecosystem by providing personalized recommendation technology as a Shopify app. Its competitive advantage lies in ease of installation, customization, and real-time product suggestions that boost average order value. The business model is SaaS subscription-based, targeting small to medium Shopify merchants. The presence of a demo site and live chat support indicates a customer-centric approach. However, the lack of detailed company information and missing WHOIS data may hinder trust for some customers. The company appears to be in early or growth stage with no public parent or subsidiary relationships. Marketing relies on Shopify app store presence and direct website engagement. Strategic partnerships appear limited to Shopify platform integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. The lack of cookie consent and GDPR compliance indicators suggests potential compliance gaps. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small SaaS provider but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, privacy, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance where applicable.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing additional business contact information such as phone number and physical address.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS and hosted on Webflow infrastructure, ensuring modern web standards and good performance. It uses Google Fonts and jQuery 3.5.1, which are current and widely supported. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and marketing tracking, indicating a data-driven approach. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS vulnerabilities or deprecated technologies were detected. The seamless Shopify app integration supports easy installation and customization. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by improving security headers and privacy controls.
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.
