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

Lakrids by Johan Bülow A/S operates a premium e-commerce platform specializing in luxury liquorice and chocolate products. The company has established a strong market position with a focus on quality and gifting, targeting a general audience interested in gourmet confectionery. Their website leverages the BigCommerce platform, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior insights. The technical infrastructure is robust, hosted behind Cloudflare with secure HTTPS enforcement and a responsive design optimized for mobile users. Security posture is solid with standard best practices observed, though there is room for improvement in DNSSEC adoption and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, but the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service on the homepage suggests an area for enhancement. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency with published security policies, improving DNS security, and expanding privacy documentation to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

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

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 targets the luxury confectionery market with a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model. Their competitive advantage lies in handcrafted, premium liquorice products with international reach, supported by country-specific domains for key markets. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales and gifting services. The brand maintains a consistent and professional online presence with active social media engagement across major platforms. Growth indicators include multi-country domain registrations and integration of advanced marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes major advertising and analytics providers, ensuring effective customer acquisition and retention strategies. Operationally, the company demonstrates maturity with a medium-sized business footprint and a decade-plus market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and clientTransferProhibited domain status preventing unauthorized transfers. The use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN enhances resilience and performance. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation is a missed opportunity for DNS security hardening. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. The integration of consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, but further documentation and disclosure would improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
