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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. DNS health

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

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: nzrym226cptk4ynmauc7jdndzagiqlnn3c4jrsitfhrhb4ulejsq.mx-verification.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

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 positions itself as a niche artisanal ceramics retailer within the e-commerce sector, focusing on quality handcrafted products. Its business model centers on direct online sales via Shopify, supplemented by workshops and gift cards. The target market includes consumers valuing unique, handmade ceramics for personal use or gifting. The company maintains active social media channels on Facebook and Instagram, enhancing customer engagement and brand visibility. While the website content is professionally presented, the lack of detailed corporate information and contact details suggests a small-scale operation. The absence of WHOIS data restricts deeper insights into company registration and domain history. The business ecosystem relies heavily on Shopify's infrastructure and third-party services for analytics and cookie management.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, providing users with detailed control over cookie categories, enhancing GDPR compliance. The use of hCaptcha on forms adds protection against automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for comprehensive security governance. The WHOIS data unavailability limits assessment of domain registration legitimacy, which is a minor risk factor. Overall, the security posture is strong for a small e-commerce site but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer if applicable under GDPR.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates third-party services such as CookieYes for cookie consent management and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site loads asynchronously scripts to optimize performance and uses responsive design principles for mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support are present. The site benefits from Shopify's hosting infrastructure, which provides reliable uptime and SSL certificates. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in image sizes and script loading. The technical implementation is solid for a small e-commerce business, with opportunities to enhance SEO and privacy compliance documentation.
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.
