Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Candys4you is an online retail business specializing in the sale of candies and confectionery products, operating primarily through a Shopify-based e-commerce platform. The website targets consumers interested in sweets, offering product search, wishlist features, and promotional incentives such as free shipping over a certain order value. The site is presented in German and appears to serve a European market, with Latvia indicated as the country of operation based on Shopify configuration data. Technically, the website leverages Shopify's infrastructure and standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service documentation. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness, although the use of a reputable platform like Shopify mitigates some risk. Overall, the website is functional and professionally designed but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security 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

2 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

  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 niche e-commerce candy retail sector, leveraging Shopify's platform for online sales. Its market positioning is that of a specialized candy retailer with a focus on German-speaking customers. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, with revenue generated through product sales. The website includes features such as product search, trending products, and wishlist functionality, indicating an intent to engage customers and encourage repeat visits. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data available. Growth indicators such as marketing tools and tracking pixels suggest active customer engagement efforts. However, the lack of visible company contact details and official registration information limits full business credibility assessment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. It implements a cookie consent banner with opt-in functionality, demonstrating awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, which are critical for compliance and user trust. There is no indication of a vulnerability disclosure program or incident response contact information. The use of third-party scripts, including Facebook Pixel and Shopify analytics, introduces potential privacy and security considerations that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear and verified contact information including company email and phone number to improve business credibility and support.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide a dedicated security contact email to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses Shopify's CDN for hosting static assets, which supports good availability and performance. The site includes modern features such as predictive search and lazy loading of images, contributing to a positive user experience. However, there is no evidence of advanced accessibility features beyond basic compliance. SEO optimization is basic with canonical tags and Open Graph metadata present but no structured JSON-LD schema detected. Performance is moderate, with some deferred script loading and asynchronous resource fetching. The technical debt appears low given the use of a managed platform, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small e-commerce business but could be enhanced with additional security and SEO best practices.
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.
