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

5 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Creacando operates in the e-commerce sector, focusing on the DIY craft market in Germany. Its business model revolves around selling creative kits and supplementary materials, supported by instructional content to facilitate customer engagement and satisfaction. The company leverages Shopify's ecosystem for store management and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms to optimize customer acquisition and retention. Social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn supports brand visibility and community building. The lack of visible direct contact details and formal terms of service suggests a small to medium-sized operation with potential growth opportunities in customer support and compliance transparency. The use of customer reviews and trust signals indicates an emphasis on social proof to enhance market position.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and employs Cloudflare services for CDN and bot management, contributing to a secure browsing environment. Security headers are likely present as per Shopify standards, though explicit header details are not visible in the provided data. The site uses a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, managing user tracking preferences effectively. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits the site's readiness for handling security incidents. The presence of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear Terms of Service page to improve legal clarity and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Improve accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks from external dependencies.
  5. Consider adding visible company contact details to strengthen business credibility and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templating and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Pinterest Tag, and Klaviyo, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site uses Cloudflare for CDN and bot management, enhancing performance and security. CSS variables and polyfills ensure compatibility across browsers, and lazy loading optimizes image delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced accessibility and explicit security documentation.
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.
