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

Green Story is a medium-sized company specializing in providing instant environmental footprint calculations and sustainability data solutions for fashion brands and suppliers. Their platform offers digital product passports, impact management, and compliance tools designed to help clients meet regulatory requirements and enhance transparency in their supply chains. The company is positioned as a leader in sustainability data services within the fashion industry, serving a global clientele with a strong emphasis on accuracy and traceability. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, contributing to a fast and accessible user experience. However, there is room for improvement in implementing security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms to enhance privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks visible security policies or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection limits domain registration trust verification, though this is common and justified for this business type. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional best practices. The overall risk assessment indicates a professional and trustworthy online presence with minor compliance gaps. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, implementing cookie consent, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure ongoing security and privacy compliance.

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

5 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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Green Story operates in the sustainability and manufacturing sectors, focusing on fashion brands and suppliers. Their competitive advantage lies in providing instant, credible environmental footprint data and digital product passports that meet stringent standards like PEF, EPD, and ISO 14067. The business model is B2B SaaS, targeting brands and suppliers seeking to comply with environmental regulations and improve transparency. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and consulting services. The company demonstrates strong growth indicators through customer testimonials and notable client logos. Their partnership ecosystem includes integrations with standards organizations and industry bodies. Operationally, Green Story emphasizes expert-led data accuracy and customer success support, positioning itself as a trusted sustainability partner in the fashion supply chain.

Security posture

Green Story's website security maturity is moderate to good. The use of HTTPS ensures encrypted communications, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against certain web attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response plan, which could hinder transparency and readiness in case of security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, while the site is secure for general use, improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation are recommended to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript and jQuery libraries, with Google Tag Manager integrated for analytics and marketing. The site uses SVG graphics for crisp visuals and is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design. Performance is fast with efficient content delivery via CDN. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and text rendering optimizations are implemented. However, the site lacks structured data (JSON-LD) which could enhance search engine understanding. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience with minimal technical debt. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
