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. 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 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

Balzamiko operates in the retail sector with a niche focus on specialty teas and coffees, complemented by related gourmet products. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging Shopify's infrastructure for sales and fulfillment. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and trust signals such as verified customer reviews and social media engagement. While no direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, contact forms and policy pages provide communication channels. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the website's professional presentation and technical setup suggest a legitimate small business with a local market focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure payment integrations. Use of Shopify platform security features reduces risk exposure. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present and should be implemented to mitigate clickjacking and cross-site scripting risks. Privacy compliance is supported by clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not found, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers to enhance security.
  2. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for better customer trust and support.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and structured data for improved search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Judge.me for reviews. Hosting is provided by Shopify, ensuring reliable performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and fast loading times. Meta tags and structured data are implemented for SEO. Some security headers are missing, which could be added to strengthen the security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small retail e-commerce business.
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.
