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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 company operates primarily in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on natural skincare and sunscreen products. Their business model revolves around direct-to-consumer online sales, supported by subscription options and rewards programs to enhance customer retention. The presence of affiliate marketing and multiple third-party integrations indicates a diversified marketing strategy. The brand's certifications and eco-friendly positioning provide competitive advantages in a growing market segment. The company appears to be small-sized but well-established with consistent branding and a clear target audience. Partnerships with recognized service providers for payments, marketing, and customer support enhance operational efficiency and customer trust.

Security posture

Brush On Block demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, domain registration protections, and implemented cookie consent compliant with GDPR. The website uses CAPTCHA on forms to mitigate automated abuse and integrates security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Enabling DNSSEC and enhancing Content-Security-Policy headers would further strengthen the security posture. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could benefit from formalized security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance Content-Security-Policy headers to restrict script sources and reduce XSS risks.

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Shopify Liquid templating. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, loyalty, subscriptions, and customer support, indicating a well-rounded technical ecosystem. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and preloading of critical assets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup.

The infrastructure supports scalable e-commerce operations with good user experience and security controls.
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.
