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

CossSpot is a Latvian retail business specializing in electronic cigarettes, vape devices, and nicotine liquids, operating both online and through physical stores across Latvia. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, indicating a modern e-commerce infrastructure with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The business targets adult consumers and vape enthusiasts, offering a wide range of products including salt nicotine and freebase e-liquids. The company was founded recently in 2022, consistent with the domain registration date. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and domain locked, though DNSSEC is not enabled and cookie consent mechanisms are absent. Privacy policy is present and GDPR compliance is partially addressed, but terms of service and explicit security policies are missing. Contact information is available via phone and contact form, but no direct company email was found. The site uses third-party marketing and review tools such as Judge.me and Automizely, supporting customer engagement and analytics. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

    • 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

CossSpot operates in the retail sector focusing on vape and electronic cigarette products in Latvia. The business model is primarily e-commerce with physical store presence. The company leverages Shopify's platform for sales and marketing, integrating customer review and marketing automation tools. The target market includes both new and experienced vape users. The company emphasizes product quality and customer service, with active marketing campaigns and customer engagement through newsletters and social media. The domain registration and website content are consistent, supporting business credibility. Growth potential exists in expanding product offerings and enhancing digital marketing. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain locking EPP statuses to protect domain integrity. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency in security management. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms is a GDPR compliance gap. The use of Shopify platform provides baseline security controls, but additional measures such as security.txt and vulnerability disclosure policies are missing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish terms of service and security policy pages to increase transparency and legal compliance.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It uses Shopify's CDN and third-party services like Judge.me for reviews and Automizely for marketing automation. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC and is locked with multiple EPP status flags. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site lacks DNSSEC and cookie consent mechanisms, which are areas for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small retail e-commerce site.
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.
