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

Cafe24 is a leading South Korean e-commerce platform company providing comprehensive online shopping mall solutions, including store creation, design, marketing, and global sales support. The company holds a dominant market position with 23 years of consecutive leadership in the Korean e-commerce platform market and serves over 2 million brands globally. Their services target entrepreneurs, creators, and enterprises seeking to establish or expand online commerce businesses. Technically, the website is built on a proprietary platform with modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Criteo, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, complemented by certifications like ISMS. However, the absence of explicit cookie consent and WHOIS transparency slightly reduce privacy compliance and trust. Overall, the site is professional, well-structured, and trustworthy, with minor recommendations to enhance privacy and security disclosures.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

    • 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

  3. 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

Cafe24 operates a robust e-commerce ecosystem with a broad partner network including migration, enterprise, design, and marketing centers. Their business model revolves around providing end-to-end e-commerce solutions, from store setup to marketing and fulfillment. The company leverages strategic partnerships and extensive certifications to maintain competitive advantages. Their target customers range from individual creators and startups to large enterprises aiming for global market penetration. The platform's extensive use of analytics and marketing tools supports data-driven growth and customer engagement. The company’s large user base and long market presence indicate strong growth and stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and recognized certifications such as ISMS. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a visible cookie consent mechanism and absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate areas for improvement in compliance and transparency. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which is common for privacy protection but reduces domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced privacy and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain registration trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy tech stack with integrations for analytics, marketing, and user behavior tracking. It is hosted by Cafe24 itself, ensuring tight control over infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance appears fast with optimized images and lazy loading. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The proprietary CMS platform supports extensive e-commerce functionalities. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party tracking scripts which require ongoing management to avoid privacy or security issues.
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.
