Risk levelMedium

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

Celebration Box NZ operates an e-commerce platform specializing in gift boxes, flowers, and sweet treats delivered across New Zealand. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Hotjar to enhance user experience and track engagement. The site presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear product offerings targeting general consumers seeking gift delivery services. However, the absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be verified for full trust. The website lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities detected, but security headers could be improved. Overall, the site is functional and well-designed but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and domain legitimacy verification.

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 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 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: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Cloudflare, 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 positions itself as a niche online retailer in New Zealand's gift delivery market, focusing on curated gift boxes and related products. Its competitive advantage lies in convenient nationwide delivery and a curated product range including flowers and sweet treats. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, likely generating revenue through product sales and delivery fees. The use of Shopify indicates reliance on a mature e-commerce infrastructure, facilitating scalability and ease of management. The lack of detailed company information and contact details limits transparency but the presence of marketing and tracking tools suggests an active digital marketing strategy. Growth potential exists in expanding product lines and improving customer engagement through enhanced privacy and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact points to gaps in security governance and incident readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and establishing clear incident response contacts to improve security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR and local privacy law compliance.
  2. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to establish domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance security posture.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide clear contact channels for incident reporting and vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries and tracking tools.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1 and various JavaScript libraries for UI components such as sliders and popups. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable performance and HTTPS support. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve load times. Technical debt appears low given the use of a managed platform, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to reduce risks and enhance user trust.
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.
