64/100

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

Novesta is a European footwear brand specializing in handmade shoes, offering a variety of products including sneakers, sandals, and vegan shoes. The company targets consumers who value quality craftsmanship and European manufacturing. The website is built on the nopCommerce platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Font Awesome, and integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though there is room for improvement in implementing security headers and explicit incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, suggesting either privacy protection or an unregistered domain, which impacts the trustworthiness assessment. Overall, the website presents a professional e-commerce presence with good privacy compliance but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security 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

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Novesta operates in the retail sector focusing on footwear, positioning itself as a niche European brand emphasizing handmade quality products. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with international shipping capabilities. The company maintains a consistent brand image and engages customers via social media channels. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, gift vouchers, and accessories. The lack of explicit company contact details and WHOIS information suggests a cautious approach to public business information or possible privacy protection. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data provided.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of modern libraries and frameworks without known vulnerabilities is positive, but continuous monitoring and enhancement of security controls are recommended. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency, which is a critical factor in trust assessment.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and build trust with customers.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the nopCommerce platform, leveraging a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for UI components, and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, alongside cookie management tools like Spooky Cookie and Yottly. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices and accessibility features at a basic level. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized image usage. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent risks that should be addressed to maintain operational integrity and customer 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.
