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

3 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 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 positions itself in the competitive fashion retail market with a focus on curated collections and ethical collaborations (e.g., PETA). The use of Shopify and third-party apps like Judge.me and Gorgias indicates a mature approach to customer engagement and support. The domain age aligns with a recent launch, suggesting a startup or rebranding effort. The presence of a partner domain for shoes indicates a broader brand ecosystem. The business targets a niche audience interested in contemporary and possibly sustainable fashion, leveraging seasonal promotions to drive sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and cookie consent banners supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The integration of Shopify Payments with 3DS support enhances transaction security. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and formalizing incident response procedures to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Swiper for UI components. It integrates multiple Shopify apps for reviews, live chat, and returns management, indicating a well-rounded e-commerce infrastructure. Hosting is via Shopify CDN with DNS managed by Bluehost. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO and metadata are properly configured with Open Graph tags and canonical URLs. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business scale, with opportunities to enhance security and compliance features.
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.
