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

Channelwill is a small e-commerce focused SaaS provider specializing in Shopify post-purchase, loyalty, reviews, and SEO applications. The company aims to empower online stores to increase traffic and sales through specialized apps. The website demonstrates a modern technical infrastructure using React and Next.js frameworks, integrated with marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Visual Website Optimizer. Despite the modern tech stack, the website lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance and trust. Security posture is moderate with no detected WAF or blocking mechanisms, but missing security headers and unclear SSL configuration suggest room for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and technology usage indicate a legitimate business presence. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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

Channelwill positions itself as a niche SaaS provider for Shopify merchants, focusing on post-purchase engagement, loyalty programs, customer reviews, and SEO optimization. The business model revolves around providing apps that integrate with e-commerce platforms to boost sales and customer retention. The target audience is primarily Shopify store owners and e-commerce businesses seeking to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. The company leverages third-party marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and conversion. However, the lack of detailed business information, contact details, and certifications limits the ability to fully assess its market standing and growth potential. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and modern JavaScript frameworks but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and similar regulations. The WHOIS data is missing, which may indicate privacy protection or recent registration, but reduces trust. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of third-party marketing and tracking scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks if not properly managed. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in transparency, policy publication, and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  3. Verify and strengthen SSL/TLS configuration to ensure excellent HTTPS security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It integrates with marketing and analytics platforms like HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Visual Website Optimizer, which support data-driven optimization. The site appears mobile-optimized with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were identified. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple asynchronous scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The absence of security headers and privacy policies suggests technical debt in compliance and security domains. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires enhancements in security and privacy implementation.
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.
