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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a boutique literary e-commerce retailer offering exclusive and limited edition books and merchandise. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales with community engagement via newsletter subscriptions. The market position is niche, targeting literature enthusiasts who value unique and signed editions. The company was founded in 2016, consistent with domain registration data. The use of Shopify as a platform indicates a scalable and reliable infrastructure. Marketing efforts include social media presence on Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky, enhancing brand visibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The company maintains good privacy and cookie compliance, which supports customer trust.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. Cookie consent is managed via Avada Cookies Bar with hCaptcha protecting forms, reducing spam and abuse risks. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an opportunity to harden the site further. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Maintain and regularly review cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

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.
