House Of Lavender is a small Latvian e-commerce business specializing in handcrafted lavender products including sachets, candles, essential oils, and gift sets. The company targets consumers seeking natural aromatic goods and artisan lavender items. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Judge.me for customer reviews and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA on forms, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating room for compliance improvement.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025

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 business operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on niche lavender-based products cultivated and handcrafted locally. Its market position is that of a specialized artisan seller with an online presence primarily serving Latvian customers. The business model is direct-to-consumer online sales via Shopify, supported by social media marketing and customer reviews. The presence of shipping solution apps and payment integrations suggests a streamlined fulfillment process. The company leverages third-party services for reviews and marketing but lacks visible formal policies or extensive contact information, which could be improved to enhance customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS encryption, use of CAPTCHA on forms to prevent automated abuse, and integration of trusted third-party apps. Security headers are likely managed by Shopify, though explicit headers are not visible in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and security incident contact information indicates gaps in compliance and incident response readiness. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page further limits transparency. Overall, the site is secure but could improve compliance and communication regarding data protection and security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer or main menu.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add clear contact information including email and phone for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party app integrations for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, employing modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript technologies. It uses external services such as Judge.me for reviews and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast loading times and good performance globally. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. The site benefits from Shopify's managed infrastructure but should ensure explicit security headers and compliance-related pages are added to strengthen its technical and regulatory posture.
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.
