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

Coqui Shoes Canada Ltd. operates an e-commerce platform specializing in footwear retail across Canada, offering products for children, men, and women. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, providing a structured shopping experience with categorized products and customer engagement features such as product warranty and return policies. The company appears to be a small-sized business founded in 2016, targeting general consumers seeking footwear online. Technically, the website leverages a modern CMS and e-commerce stack with plugins enhancing product display and filtering. The hosting is provided by a Slovakian provider (websupport.sk), and the site uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA for form security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are absent, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices but lacks advanced security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but no cookie consent mechanism is evident. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, relying on contact forms for communication. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy consent mechanisms would enhance its security posture and compliance. The domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with a legitimate small business, supporting the site's credibility.

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

Coqui Shoes Canada Ltd. occupies a niche in the Canadian footwear retail market, focusing on online sales of clogs, sandals, slippers, flip flops, and sneakers for various demographics. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging WooCommerce for sales and product management. The company benefits from clear product categorization and customer trust signals such as warranty and return policies. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a streamlined digital-first customer service approach. The company’s market position is that of a specialized retailer with a consistent brand presence and a focus on quality footwear products. Growth indicators include a maintained domain since 2016 and active product listings. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the use of WooCommerce and related plugins indicates integration with common e-commerce service providers.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to protect forms from automated abuse. The domain is secured with clientTransferProhibited status, preventing unauthorized transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security robustness. No explicit incident response or security policy pages are found, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML or scripts. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be improved to mitigate advanced threats and enhance customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance customer trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce e-commerce platform, using a Storefront theme and multiple plugins for enhanced functionality such as product filtering, variation swatches, and sliders. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and FontAwesome, and uses jQuery and other JavaScript libraries. Hosting is provided by websupport.sk, indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic with some screen reader text and skip links. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured data for breadcrumbs. Technical debt is low but security enhancements and cookie compliance are areas for modernization.
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.
