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

    • 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

  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 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 as a niche garden nursery with specialty plants and lifestyle offerings, targeting local and regional customers interested in quality plants and garden experiences. The business model combines online retail with physical services, including a café and event rentals, indicating diversified revenue streams. The partnership with microculturelab.com suggests an extension into health-related product lines. The website's SEO and structured data usage support discoverability, and active social media channels enhance customer engagement. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the business history, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's robust hosting and security infrastructure, including HTTPS and standard security headers. Domain status flags prevent unauthorized transfers and updates, enhancing domain security. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and explicit security policies or incident response contacts are absent, representing areas for improvement. Marketing and tracking scripts are present but appear standard for e-commerce sites. Overall, the security posture is good for a small retail business but could be strengthened with additional transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit contact channels for security incidents such as abuse@ or security@ email addresses.
  4. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly detailing data retention policies and cookie consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and standard Shopify APIs. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates third-party marketing tools like Mailchimp and Mailmunch. The site loads resources from Shopify CDN and Google Fonts, ensuring reliable performance. The design is responsive and accessible with basic ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, typical for Shopify stores with rich media content. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and enhance accessibility 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.
