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

Kniks is a digital gift card platform operating primarily in the Baltic region, offering universal digital gift cards redeemable across hundreds of e-commerce stores in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The business is relatively young, founded in 2021, and is part of the MakeCommerce.lt group, which provides payment and commerce solutions. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets general consumers looking for convenient gifting solutions. The platform supports multiple payment methods tailored to each country, enhancing user convenience and market penetration. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Adform tracking. Hosting appears to be on Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured data and Open Graph tags implemented for social sharing and search engine indexing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses nonce attributes on scripts to mitigate injection risks. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent banners and detailed privacy policies. However, some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected and could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, Kniks presents a trustworthy and professional digital commerce platform with good privacy and security practices. The business is transparent with clear contact information and legal documentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a formal security policy, and maintaining regular updates to the WordPress environment to mitigate emerging threats.

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.

Priority findings

8 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

Kniks operates as a niche e-commerce service provider specializing in digital gift cards usable across multiple online stores in the Baltic states. Its competitive advantage lies in regional localization with dedicated country-specific payment options and multilingual support. The business model revolves around digital gift card sales and partnerships with various retail e-shops, creating a broad ecosystem for gift card redemption. Revenue streams likely include gift card sales commissions and partnerships. The company targets general consumers and corporate clients (with company invoicing options) seeking flexible gifting solutions. Growth indicators include expansion into multiple Baltic markets and integration with numerous partner stores. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring many local e-commerce brands. Strategic observations suggest potential for further market penetration by expanding partner networks and enhancing corporate sales channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Use of nonce attributes on scripts reduces risk of cross-site scripting attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools, which may increase tracking but appear to be managed with user consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider expanding corporate sales features and partner integrations to grow market share.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Twenty Twenty-One child theme customized for Kniks branding. Frontend technologies include Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The site integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics (Google Analytics, Hotjar), marketing (Facebook Pixel, Adform), and tag management (Google Tag Manager). Hosting is via Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure, suggesting reliable backend hosting. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints for Google Fonts. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin, structured data (JSON-LD), and Open Graph metadata. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site includes multilingual support via WPML plugin, targeting Baltic languages and English. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for the business needs, with opportunities for optimization in security headers and accessibility.
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.
