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

Knifet is a small artisan business specializing in handmade knives including bushcraft, hunting, EDC, and kitchen knives. The company operates an e-commerce website built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, targeting knife enthusiasts and specialized users. The website is professionally designed, mobile optimized, and includes comprehensive privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and performance optimizations such as WP Rocket and Google Tag Manager. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and security headers present, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract significantly from the business credibility given the professional web presence and contact information. Overall, the website is safe, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche market.

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

3 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.

    • 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

Knifet operates in the retail sector focusing on niche handmade knives. The business model combines custom orders and finished product sales via an online store. The company targets outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and kitchen users seeking high-quality knives. The website's structured data and social media presence support brand trust and visibility. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but the business appears legitimate with clear contact details and professional content. The company is likely small-sized, founded around 2020, and operates primarily in the Czech Republic. Marketing tools include Google Analytics and AddToAny social sharing, supporting moderate user tracking and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate spam and abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness. The site would benefit from adding these elements to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security risk is low but could be improved with formal documentation and response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It leverages performance optimization tools like WP Rocket and uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for marketing and tracking. The site loads quickly and is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security documentation and limited accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
