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

Geri Draws Japan is a small-scale e-commerce and content creation business focused on illustration and travel blogging centered around Japanese culture. The website is professionally designed and hosted on Squarespace, featuring an online shop for art prints and related products. The business targets general audiences interested in Japanese culture and art. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google reCAPTCHA, with a good mobile-optimized design and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers such as HSTS and Content-Security-Policy. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. The WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy but the active and consistent web presence suggests a legitimate small business. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved security and privacy practices.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 retail sector with a niche focus on Japanese culture enthusiasts. It leverages social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube to engage its audience and drive traffic. The business model combines content creation with direct product sales via an online shop. The market position is that of a specialized artist/blogger with a small but dedicated customer base. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company maintains consistent branding and good content quality, supporting its credibility. Growth potential is tied to expanding social media reach and improving compliance and security to build customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks important security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is published. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to reduce risk and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.
  3. Add X-Frame-Options header to protect against clickjacking.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its hosting and CMS capabilities. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site uses Typekit fonts and modern CSS/JS assets delivered via Squarespace CDN. Performance is moderate with responsive design and good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical infrastructure is solid for a small business site but could be improved with enhanced security headers and privacy 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.
