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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 e-commerce retail sector focusing on ladies' fashion with a boutique approach. Their competitive advantage lies in curated collections and a strong brand presence supported by social media and customer reviews. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of fashion products. The target customer segment includes women interested in modern trends and luxury apparel. The company shows growth indicators through new arrivals and multiple brand partnerships. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify for platform hosting, Judge.me for reviews, and various marketing tools. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing privacy compliance and expanding trust signals to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's secure hosting environment with HTTPS and standard security headers in place. Forms are secured by Shopify's default protections. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a cookie consent banner and explicit security or incident response policies indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting an area for improvement to enhance overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU regulations and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and security policy pages to enhance legal coverage and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.

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.
