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

Cirkle Studio Pvt. Ltd. operates the website cirkleinc.com, offering premium Shopify apps, themes, and expert consulting services targeted at Shopify merchants and store owners. The company positions itself as a Shopify Expert and Partner with a presence on the Shopify App Store and Experts platform, indicating a focused niche in e-commerce solutions. Their business model revolves around SaaS app sales, digital product sales (themes), and consulting services, catering to a small-sized enterprise founded in 2017. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and icon libraries, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. The site is mobile optimized with good design and navigation, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with no evident blocking or WAF challenges. From a security perspective, the domain is well-managed with multiple EPP locks and a long registration period, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicates compliance and security maturity gaps. No HTTPS enforcement details were provided, which is critical for e-commerce sites. Overall, the website is professional and credible within its niche but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing incident response contacts.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Cirkle Studio Pvt. Ltd. holds a competitive position as a Shopify Expert and Partner, leveraging the Shopify ecosystem to distribute apps and themes. Their business model is diversified across SaaS app sales, theme sales, and consulting services, targeting Shopify merchants who seek to enhance store functionality and user experience. The company benefits from partnerships with Shopify platforms and theme stores, which strengthens their market presence. Growth indicators include multiple apps with trials and free subscriptions, customer reviews, and a newsletter subscriber base. However, the lack of visible physical addresses or phone contacts may limit trust for some customers. The partnership ecosystem is robust with Shopify-related domains, but no direct payment processors or critical third-party services were identified.

Security posture

The security posture of cirkleinc.com is moderate but with notable gaps. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and uses Cloudflare DNS, providing some resilience and stability. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces protection against DNS spoofing and common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and other regulations. The site lacks incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content, but the lack of HTTPS enforcement details is a concern. Overall, the site should prioritize implementing security best practices and compliance measures to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with a strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure data in transit.
  5. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts or pages to improve transparency and security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and icon libraries for UI elements. It integrates Owl Carousel for interactive content display. Hosting is behind Cloudflare DNS, which provides DNS management and potential CDN benefits. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and user experience. However, SEO metadata is minimal, with no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected, limiting social media and search engine optimization. No backend CMS or platform is explicitly identified, but the business focus on Shopify apps and themes suggests integration with Shopify's ecosystem. Performance is moderate with no blocking or WAF detected. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
