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

Maruma Yarns is a small Latvian-based e-commerce business specializing in hand-dyed yarns and knitting accessories. The company emphasizes unique, artisanal products dyed in small batches, targeting knitting enthusiasts and crafters primarily in Latvia. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, supporting an online store with product catalogs and shopping cart functionality. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports brand engagement. Technically, the site uses Mozello CMS with common JavaScript libraries and is hosted on Amazon CloudFront CDN, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some trust concerns despite the active and legitimate business presence. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its niche but could improve security and transparency.

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

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

Maruma Yarns operates in the niche retail sector focused on artisanal yarns and knitting supplies. Its competitive advantage lies in unique hand-dyed yarns and personalized customer service. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with additional presence on Etsy, indicating diversified sales channels. The target market is hobbyists and crafters valuing quality and uniqueness. The company leverages social media for marketing and customer engagement. Growth potential exists in expanding product lines and enhancing digital marketing. The absence of detailed business registration info online suggests a small or sole proprietorship operation. Partnerships with yarn producers and local wool processing facilities are highlighted, reinforcing product authenticity and local sourcing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The login and registration forms are present but no advanced security measures like multi-factor authentication or CAPTCHA are observed. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and could be a risk factor. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Obtain and publish verifiable business registration and contact information to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mozello CMS platform, utilizing jQuery 2.2.4 and several UI libraries such as Fancybox and Bannerplay for enhanced user experience. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, which supports moderate performance and global content delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with meta tags and canonical links. However, the site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks and progressive web app features, indicating some technical debt. The absence of advanced security headers and limited analytics integration suggest opportunities for modernization and improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from updates to improve performance, security, and analytics capabilities.
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.
