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

Lucy & Sam operates a specialized e-commerce platform focused on organic, ethically made baby and kids clothing in the UK market. The company emphasizes gender-neutral designs and GOTS certification, positioning itself as a niche leader in sustainable children's apparel. The website is built on Shopify, leveraging a modern tech stack with integrations for marketing, analytics, and customer reviews, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though the absence of a public security policy and incident response details suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy, but the professional presentation and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies support business credibility. Overall, the site is well-optimized for performance, mobile use, and SEO, targeting parents and caregivers seeking sustainable children's clothing.

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

5 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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
    • 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email 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

  • 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 business targets environmentally conscious parents in the UK, offering organic baby and kids clothing with ethical manufacturing claims. Its e-commerce model relies on direct online sales with free shipping incentives. The use of Shopify and integrations with Klaviyo and Trustpilot indicate a focus on customer engagement and retention. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals such as certifications and customer reviews. However, the absence of explicit company contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit direct customer trust. The domain's WHOIS data absence could be a concern for some stakeholders. The company appears small but focused, with potential for growth in the sustainable children's apparel niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and secure form handling including CAPTCHA. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The site uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit cookie consent mechanisms could be enhanced. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from improved documentation and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add an incident response contact or page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and publish domain registration details to enhance trustworthiness.
  4. Include explicit company contact emails and phone numbers for customer support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

It integrates multiple third-party services such as Trustpilot, Klaviyo, Facebook Pixel, and Loox for reviews and marketing. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast loading times and global availability. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented.

Opportunities exist to enhance technical documentation and security disclosures.
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.
