Partial score · DNS & email only

43/100

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

Design Box is a Latvian-based retail business specializing in interior design products including furniture, outdoor furniture, lighting, and accessories. The company positions itself as the official Latvian representative of several popular European design brands, notably Kave Home. The website serves both as an e-commerce platform and a digital presence for their physical showroom. The target audience is general consumers interested in modern and quality design furniture and home decor. The business is relatively new, founded in 2023, and operates primarily in the retail sector within Latvia. Technically, the website employs common web technologies such as jQuery, FontAwesome, Google Fonts, and a cookie consent management script. The site is hosted via GoDaddy.com LLC and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration. While the site performs moderately well and is mobile optimized, there is room for improvement in security practices such as enabling DNSSEC and implementing additional security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and an active consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site shows a good baseline with HTTPS and CSRF tokens on forms but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site is fully accessible. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business profile, indicating legitimacy. No adult or questionable content is present, making the site safe for general audiences. Overall, Design Box presents a professional and trustworthy online presence for a small retail business in the furniture and interior design market. Strategic improvements in security and technical infrastructure could further enhance their digital maturity and customer trust.

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

7 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.

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Design Box operates in the niche market of modern European design furniture and accessories, leveraging official brand partnerships to differentiate itself. The business model combines e-commerce with a physical showroom, targeting consumers seeking quality and stylish home furnishings. Their market position is strengthened by exclusive representation of brands like Kave Home in Latvia. The website content and navigation are well structured to support product discovery and sales. The company appears to be in early growth stages, with a focus on brand reputation and customer experience. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports marketing efforts. No evidence of complex partnerships or subsidiaries was found, indicating a focused retail operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and CSRF protection on forms. Cookie consent is actively managed, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents potential areas of vulnerability. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which may limit transparency in security governance. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small retail site but could benefit from enhancements to reduce risk and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of standard web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts. The CMS or platform is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com LLC, consistent with the WHOIS registrar data. Performance is moderate with preloading of CSS and lazy loading of images. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices such as meta tags and canonical links are properly implemented. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses cookie consent scripts to manage user privacy preferences. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small retail site but has opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
