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. 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

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 a medium-sized retail bakery with a strong online presence facilitated by Shopify. Its market positioning leverages fresh, handmade products and specialty coffee, appealing to a discerning local customer base. The business model combines physical retail with online ordering and delivery, supported by a robust digital marketing ecosystem including Bing Ads and social media integrations. The absence of direct contact information on the website suggests a focus on streamlined e-commerce rather than direct customer service channels. The company benefits from long domain tenure and consistent branding, indicating stability and market trust. Partnerships with major platforms like Shopify and advertising networks enhance its market reach and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and various marketing pixels. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data present. Hosting is managed via Shopify's CDN with DNS hosted on Cloudflare, providing reliable uptime and performance. However, the site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical gaps. The site uses standard Shopify forms but no explicit contact forms were detected in the main HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security enhancements.
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.
