Risk levelMedium

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

Barulins.shop is a small e-commerce business specializing in the sale of artwork by Igors Barulins, including landscapes, abstract art, digital photography, and prints. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and SEO tools to provide a professional and user-friendly shopping experience. The business targets art collectors and enthusiasts, primarily in Latvia but accessible globally. The site integrates social media channels and analytics for marketing and user engagement. Technically, the site uses a robust tech stack including jQuery, Shopify apps, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer lock, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and professionally presented but should improve privacy and security disclosures.

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

6 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.

    • 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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 business operates in the niche art e-commerce sector, focusing on a single artist's portfolio. It leverages Shopify's infrastructure for sales and marketing, indicating a lean operational model. The presence of social media links and SEO apps suggests active marketing efforts. The domain age and registration details align with a new but legitimate business. The business model is direct-to-consumer retail with digital and physical art products. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company appears to be in early growth stages with a focus on brand building and online presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain transfer lock, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security.txt files, as well as missing privacy and cookie policies, indicate gaps in security and compliance maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site uses standard analytics and tracking scripts, but lacks explicit user consent mechanisms. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to inform users and obtain consent.
  4. Add a security.txt file to provide vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using jQuery 3.5.1 and several Shopify apps including Tapita SEO & Speed for SEO optimization and Shopify Web Pixels Manager for analytics. It uses Google Tag Manager and integrates multiple tracking pixels including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern UI components like Swiper sliders and Select2. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and CDN usage. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA labels and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Technical debt is low given the use of Shopify's managed platform, but improvements can be made in security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
