Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, integrating marketing tools like Facebook Pixel and MakeCommerce payment gateway. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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 · found on this site
  • 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 a niche retail sector focused on biological gardening products, leveraging e-commerce to reach a specialized customer base. Its multilingual support indicates a strategy to serve multiple Baltic markets. The use of WooCommerce and Elementor suggests a cost-effective, scalable platform suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises. Marketing efforts include Facebook Pixel for retargeting and analytics. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policy pages may impact customer trust and compliance. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The business model is direct online retail with product categories tailored to different plant types and gardening needs.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contacts limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. The use of third-party scripts like Facebook Pixel and payment gateway plugins necessitates regular security audits. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and formal disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly update all WordPress components and conduct security audits on third-party plugins and scripts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress stack using WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building. It integrates multilingual capabilities via WPML and uses MakeCommerce for payment processing. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Facebook. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is enhanced by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No critical technical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Hosting provider details were not available from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but has room for security and accessibility 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.
