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

KISSA Tea operates a premium e-commerce platform specializing in organic matcha tea and related accessories, targeting health-conscious and lifestyle consumers primarily in Europe. The website is built on Shopify and leverages multiple marketing and analytics tools to enhance customer engagement and sales. While the site demonstrates excellent content quality, branding consistency, and user experience, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, undermining HTTPS security. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms reflects good compliance posture. Overall, the business appears legitimate and well-positioned in its niche, but immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to protect customer data and maintain trust.

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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 benefits from strong certifications (IFS, Organic, Vegan, Kosher) and is part of the AIYA family, a recognized leader in premium matcha. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales with additional B2B and affiliate programs, supported by a robust digital marketing ecosystem including Klaviyo and Uppromote. The website's multilingual and multi-country support indicates a strategic approach to European markets. The brand emphasizes sustainability and transparency, which are key differentiators in the organic tea market. Partnerships with well-known retailers and presence in multiple social media platforms enhance market reach and credibility.

Security posture

Security headers are well implemented, including strict X-Frame-Options, Content Security Policy, and XSS protection. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and trust issues. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating room for improvement in security governance. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires urgent SSL/TLS remediation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and OCSP stapling for improved security and performance.
  3. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing explicit contact emails and phone numbers for customer support and security issues.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Shopify with Cloudflare CDN and Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. It uses modern web technologies and frameworks, including Shopify Liquid templates and various marketing and analytics integrations. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO practices are solid with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are critical technical issues that impact security and user trust. The site uses multiple asynchronous scripts to optimize load times and user experience.
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.
