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.

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 company operates a niche e-commerce business model selling specialized automotive engine parts and services. Its market position is that of a trusted specialist with a global reach, supported by social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The business model relies on direct sales and service offerings, targeting a focused customer segment of automotive enthusiasts and professionals. The lack of visible contact details and formal policies suggests room for improvement in customer trust and compliance. The Shopify platform provides scalability and integration with marketing and analytics tools, supporting growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of hCaptcha for form protection. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published privacy and cookie policies and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could benefit from enhanced policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including company email and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and customer trust.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate commitment to security and facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update website security measures and compliance documentation to maintain trust and reduce risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using Liquid templates, JavaScript, and CSS. It leverages Shopify's CDN for hosting and performance optimization. The site includes modern web technologies and is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Analytics and marketing tools from Shopify and Trekkie are integrated for user tracking and conversion measurement. The site uses hCaptcha for form security but lacks some advanced security headers. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small e-commerce business but could be enhanced with additional security and compliance 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.
