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

Forleathercraft.com is a specialized e-commerce retailer offering premium leather and leathercraft tools targeted at professional leatherworkers and discerning hobbyists. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates good design quality, clear navigation, and mobile optimization, supporting a positive user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response details are absent. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is likely due to privacy protection common in small e-commerce businesses. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional front with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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

2 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

  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 business operates in the niche market of premium leather and leathercraft tools, positioning itself as a quality-focused supplier. Its market presence is supported by active social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, enhancing brand visibility. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, with a focus on specialized products such as vegetable tanned leather, shell cordovan, and related tools and supplies. The company appears to be small-sized, based in Latvia, with no publicly disclosed parent or subsidiary companies. The use of Shopify and integrated marketing tools indicates a digitally mature approach to sales and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes cookie consent with opt-in/out capabilities, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Use of hCaptcha on forms adds protection against automated abuse. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers appear to be present as per Shopify defaults, but explicit Content-Security-Policy details are not visible. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with more explicit documentation and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information and procedures to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing pixels for security risks.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers with explicit Content-Security-Policy and other best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Shopify's platform, utilizing its CDN and infrastructure for fast and reliable delivery. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript modules, Klaviyo for email marketing, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Shopify Pay with Apple Pay support for payments. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is fast, and the site uses standard Shopify themes and components. Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security monitoring.
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.
