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

Bibliopolis is a specialized technology provider focused on delivering tools and services for online bookstores, including inventory automation (BookRouter™), secure e-commerce hosting, and SEO/analytics integration. The company targets booksellers, rare book dealers, and used bookstores, positioning itself as a niche player with a portfolio of over 400 powered websites and longstanding industry involvement. The website demonstrates a professional design with clear navigation and mobile optimization, supported by modern technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Zoho SalesIQ, Google Tag Manager, and New Relic monitoring. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and secure payment integrations, complemented by a cookie consent mechanism and privacy controls. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which impacts overall trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content accessibility.

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.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Bibliopolis operates a B2B SaaS and service model catering to the book selling industry, offering inventory management, e-commerce solutions, and personalized support. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized focus, integration with major payment providers, and support for antiquarian book seminars through scholarships and discounts. The company maintains a clear contact presence and trust signals such as client showcases and secure checkout features. The business appears small in size, US-based, and focused on technology and e-commerce sectors. Growth indicators include a large portfolio of client websites and active marketing through social media and newsletters.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and integrates secure payment gateways, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent banner and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and transparency, which is a security concern. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be improved with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Improve website accessibility compliance to ensure inclusivity and meet regulatory standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but somewhat traditional technology stack including jQuery 3.5.1 and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates third-party services such as Zoho SalesIQ for live chat and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize JavaScript usage and enhance accessibility features. The presence of New Relic monitoring indicates active performance and error tracking.
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.
