27/100

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

Modehaus Kutsam is a well-established family-owned fashion retailer based in Austria with a history spanning over 65 years. The company operates multiple physical stores and offers a broad range of fashion products for men and women, including personal shopping services and a customer club app. Their website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics and PushOwl for marketing and analytics. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive product and brand information, reflecting a mature digital presence. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, which poses risks to user data confidentiality and trust. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating good compliance with GDPR requirements. Overall, the business demonstrates strong credibility and professionalism, but should prioritize fixing SSL issues to enhance security and user 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

7 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

    • 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

  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

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 targets fashion consumers in Austria, offering a wide selection of clothing and accessories for both genders. Their business model combines brick-and-mortar retail with an online presence, supported by personalized services like personal shopping appointments. The market positioning is strong due to their long history, family ownership, and certified style consultants. The website reflects a strategic use of Shopify's ecosystem, including payment processing and analytics tools. The presence of a customer club app and active social media channels suggests engagement with a loyal customer base. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data indicates transparency and legitimacy. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand image and offers a comprehensive product catalog, supporting growth and customer retention.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices, including strict security headers such as X-Frame-Options, Content Security Policy, and HSTS. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled modern TLS protocols significantly undermine the security posture, exposing users to potential interception and trust issues. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further reduces security and performance. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could be improved to enhance security readiness. Overall, while some security controls are in place, critical SSL/TLS issues must be addressed promptly to protect customer data and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to ensure modern cryptographic standards.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and privacy policies to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, incorporating jQuery and various Shopify extensions for analytics, payment, and push notifications. Hosting is via Cloudflare CDN, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance metrics are not fully available, but the site uses deferred media loading and modern web standards. Technical debt appears low, but SSL/TLS misconfiguration is a significant risk. The site integrates social media and marketing tools effectively, supporting a mature digital marketing strategy.
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.
