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

Manucurist is a French e-commerce retailer specializing in natural, vegan, and bio-sourced nail polish products. The company positions itself as a responsible and green alternative in the beauty industry, targeting consumers who prioritize ethical and eco-friendly personal care. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and hosted on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and marketing tools to reach a broad audience. The business model focuses on direct online sales with a strong emphasis on product quality and sustainability. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with extensive use of third-party analytics, marketing, and customer engagement tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Klaviyo, and Yotpo. The site is optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, ensuring a positive user experience. Security best practices are observed, including HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly disclosed. From a security perspective, the site maintains a strong posture with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency due to privacy protection limits domain registration insights, though the overall legitimacy of the business is supported by professional presentation and operational maturity. Overall, Manucurist presents a trustworthy and well-managed online retail presence with opportunities to enhance transparency around security policies and incident response. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and vulnerability disclosure policies, improving contact channels for security matters, and continuous monitoring of third-party integrations to mitigate risks.

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

4 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

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

Manucurist operates in the niche market of natural and vegan beauty products, specifically nail polishes with bio-sourced ingredients. The company leverages e-commerce to reach environmentally conscious consumers, differentiating itself through product ethics and quality. Its competitive advantage lies in its green branding and comprehensive online presence supported by multi-language support and regional domains. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales, supported by affiliate marketing and digital advertising. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify for hosting and e-commerce infrastructure, marketing platforms like Klaviyo and WisePops, and affiliate networks such as Superfiliate. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns, seasonal promotions, and integration of customer review platforms. The company maintains a consistent brand image and targets a medium-sized market segment within France and international regions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services is balanced with privacy compliance measures, including cookie consent and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response plan limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The WHOIS data is obscured, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for e-commerce sites but reduces domain registration transparency. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for the business size but could benefit from enhanced public security documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing contact details for the Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.

It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Klaviyo, and Yotpo, indicating a sophisticated 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.
