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

MatchaTea.at operates as a specialized e-commerce platform focused on authentic Japanese Matcha tea products, offering a range of organic and certified items. The company targets health-conscious consumers in Austria and German-speaking regions, positioning itself as a niche leader with a strong emphasis on product quality and authenticity. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and multiple trust indicators including certifications and active social media presence. Technically, the site leverages the Shoptet e-commerce platform with integrations of popular analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics GA4, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Plausible. The site uses HTTPS and CSRF protections but could improve security headers and update legacy libraries like jQuery. Mobile optimization and SEO are well addressed, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices with encrypted connections and consent-based tracking. However, the absence of detailed WHOIS data and minimal security headers slightly reduce trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and privacy compliance appears adequate with GDPR-aligned policies. Overall, MatchaTea.at presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate technical maturity and a solid security baseline. Strategic improvements in security headers, library updates, and enhanced transparency on incident response would further strengthen its posture.

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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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 company operates in the e-commerce sector specializing in organic Japanese Matcha tea, serving a niche but growing market of health-conscious consumers. Its business model is direct-to-consumer online retail supplemented by wholesale offerings. The presence of multiple localized partner domains suggests a regional expansion strategy across Europe. The company leverages certifications and social media marketing to build trust and brand recognition. Revenue streams are primarily product sales with potential growth in wholesale and educational content. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for various European markets, indicating a coordinated brand network. The company shows signs of stable operations with consistent branding and a focus on product quality.

Security posture

MatchaTea.at exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections in place. The use of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the site uses an outdated jQuery version which may expose it to known vulnerabilities. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are missing, representing an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and updating legacy components.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user data management options.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS and domain registration information to ensure consistency and improve trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shoptet e-commerce platform, utilizing jQuery 1.11.3 and various third-party analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Analytics GA4, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Plausible. The site is served over HTTPS with CSRF tokens implemented in forms, indicating attention to secure data handling. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is somewhat dated due to legacy jQuery but overall stable. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve security configurations.
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.
