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

Tivoli's Astounding Magic Supply Co. operates as a niche e-commerce storefront specializing in magic supplies and related merchandise, uniquely positioned as the official retail partner for the nonprofit 826DC. The business model integrates retail sales with nonprofit fundraising, targeting customers interested in magic and community support. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience and trustworthiness. Technically, the site leverages the Shopify platform with modern web technologies and third-party integrations for analytics and marketing, hosted with reputable providers. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain lock statuses, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is legitimate, functional, and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security 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. 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 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

    • High

      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

The company holds a unique market position as the only magic supply store in its district with a strong nonprofit affiliation, which likely drives customer loyalty and community engagement. Revenue streams are primarily from online retail sales, with 100% of proceeds supporting 826DC's educational programs. The target audience includes magic enthusiasts and socially conscious consumers. The partnership with 826DC is prominently featured, enhancing brand credibility. The use of Shopify indicates a scalable e-commerce infrastructure, while integrations with Facebook Pixel and Google Translate suggest active marketing and internationalization efforts. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which may limit direct customer engagement but aligns with a primarily online sales model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and domain status protections. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and missing advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options represent areas for improvement. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates limited transparency in security incident handling. Forms present on the site are standard search and account login forms without visible advanced protections. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Brooklyn theme, incorporating jQuery and lazysizes for frontend functionality and performance optimization. It integrates Facebook Pixel and Shopify Analytics for marketing and user behavior tracking. The site uses Google Translate for multilingual support and includes various third-party scripts for marketing and announcements. Hosting is managed via Shopify with DNS hosted on Google Domains, and the domain is registered through Squarespace Domains II LLC. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. The site lacks some modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small to medium e-commerce operation but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
