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 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

  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
    • 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 company targets consumers interested in analog productivity and journaling, offering physical products and educational content. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with regional Shopify stores for Canada, Australia, and Europe, indicating a global reach. Marketing efforts are supported by multiple analytics and advertising tools, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of explicit contact information and policies on the main site suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The domain age and registration data support legitimacy and long-term operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS and secure payment integrations. However, the lack of DNSSEC, absence of explicit security headers in the HTML, and missing vulnerability disclosure or incident response information indicate gaps in security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site uses CAPTCHA for form protection and integrates with reputable third-party services. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms is not clearly evident, which could pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer or dedicated pages.
  3. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  5. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  6. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user experience for all users.
  7. Ensure cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Flex theme with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Klaviyo. Hosting is provided by Media Temple with DNS managed via their name servers. Performance is moderate with preloading and preconnecting optimizations. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by canonical tags, meta descriptions, and Open Graph metadata. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for marketing, analytics, and customer support, which increases complexity but also functionality. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected.
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.
