Tolstoy is a technology company specializing in video commerce solutions for e-commerce brands. Their platform enables businesses to integrate shoppable, interactive, and personalized videos across websites, apps, and marketing channels to enhance customer engagement and drive sales. With over 5,000 companies using their services and official partnerships with platforms like Shopify and Shop app, Tolstoy holds a solid position in the video commerce market. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in multimedia content, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, multiple analytics and tracking tools, and integrates with popular e-commerce platforms. Security posture is good with HTTPS and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, though explicit security headers and policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie banner present but no clear privacy policy detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, Tolstoy presents as a credible and professional SaaS provider in the video commerce space, with room for improvement in privacy and security disclosures.

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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 25 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

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

Tolstoy operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, offering SaaS video commerce tools that help brands increase conversions through interactive video content. Their business model focuses on platform subscriptions and integrations with major e-commerce ecosystems like Shopify and Tapcart. The company targets online retailers and marketing teams seeking to leverage video for customer engagement. Their market position is strengthened by a large user base and official partnerships. The website content highlights key services such as shoppable videos, video quizzes, and personalized video feeds, indicating a comprehensive product suite. The presence of customer stories and partner marketplaces suggests a growing ecosystem and strategic partnerships. However, the lack of publicly available company registration details and privacy policies may impact trust for some users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Multiple tracking and analytics scripts are loaded asynchronously, which is good for performance but increases the attack surface. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly found in the HTML, representing an area for improvement. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency in case of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, adding missing headers, and providing clear security contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide a dedicated security or incident response page with contact information for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  4. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is properly published to improve trust and transparency.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to balance analytics needs with user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Splide for sliders. It integrates with multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good performance. Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive design and adaptive font scaling. Accessibility features appear adequate though not explicitly detailed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-implemented with minor opportunities for security header 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.
