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

Brave Gowns is a small healthcare-focused e-commerce business operating on the Shopify platform, specializing in vibrant and comfortable hospital gowns for children and adults. The company integrates charitable initiatives such as donation and sponsorship programs to support hospitalized children, positioning itself as a niche provider with a strong social mission. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and content relevance, targeting patients, families, hospitals, and donors primarily in the US. Technically, the site leverages modern Shopify technologies and third-party marketing and analytics tools, ensuring a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and secure forms, though explicit security headers are lacking. Privacy compliance is partial, with a basic privacy/refund policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract from the site's operational legitimacy given its Shopify hosting and active social presence. Overall, Brave Gowns presents a trustworthy and mission-driven online presence with room for improvement in privacy and security best 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

5 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: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, 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 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

The business operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, combining e-commerce sales of hospital gowns with charitable donation programs. Its market position is niche, focusing on improving hospital experiences for children and adults through specialized products. The company benefits from partnerships with donation platforms and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. Revenue streams likely include direct sales and donations. The use of Shopify indicates a scalable and reliable e-commerce infrastructure. Growth potential is supported by strong community engagement and a clear social mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy notices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers, published security policies, and improved privacy controls to align with GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to meet regulatory requirements and build trust.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response communication.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and protect user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Canopy theme version 2.8.2, leveraging a modern tech stack including jQuery and various Shopify apps for payments, analytics, and marketing. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and CDN usage. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be monitored for performance and privacy impact. The lack of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement.
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.
