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

Gist operates Gift Card Pro, a Shopify app designed to enhance gift card sales and delivery for Shopify store owners. The app offers features such as digital and physical gift card sales, automated delivery via email and SMS, customizable designs, bulk sending, and balance reminders. Positioned as a niche e-commerce tool, it targets Shopify merchants seeking to improve customer gifting experiences. Technically, the app leverages modern web technologies including React, Stimulus, Tailwind CSS, and is hosted on Shopify's CDN infrastructure, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, CSRF protections, and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are absent on the app detail page. Overall, the app demonstrates a mature digital presence with high user ratings and trust signals, but could improve privacy compliance and contact transparency.

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

3 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.

    • 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';…

  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 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

Gift Card Pro by Gist is positioned as a specialized SaaS solution within the Shopify ecosystem, focusing on gift card management and customer engagement. Its subscription-based pricing model with tiered plans indicates a recurring revenue stream. The app's integration with Shopify and compatibility with latest themes and extensions like Checkout and Customer Accounts suggest a well-integrated product. The target market includes small to medium Shopify merchants who value enhanced gifting capabilities. The presence of bulk sending and corporate gifting features indicates potential appeal to B2B customers as well. The app benefits from Shopify's platform trust and distribution but lacks direct company contact details on the app page, which may limit direct customer engagement outside Shopify channels.

Security posture

The app detail page and associated scripts show adherence to security best practices including enforced HTTPS, CSRF tokens in forms, use of nonces in scripts, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Shopify's platform and CDN further enhances security through platform-managed protections. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and incident response policies on the app page reduces transparency and may impact compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating room for improvement in security communication. Overall, the security posture is solid technically but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and incident contact information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy on the app detail page or associated website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general support, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance marketing transparency by disclosing data collection and retention policies related to analytics and tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The app detail page is built on Shopify's platform using modern frontend technologies such as React and Stimulus, styled with Tailwind CSS. It loads scripts asynchronously with nonces for security and integrates Google Tag Manager and Bugsnag for analytics and error monitoring. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the software application. Hosting on Shopify's CDN ensures fast load times and reliable uptime. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. The main technical risk is the lack of explicit privacy and security policy pages which are important for compliance and user trust.
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.
