MerchantPro is a SaaS eCommerce platform offering a comprehensive suite of tools for merchants to create, manage, and grow online shops. With over 15 years of experience and more than 5000 merchants worldwide, it positions itself as a stable, scalable, and secure solution for businesses of various sizes. The platform emphasizes performance, stability, and customer support, targeting merchants seeking a reliable eCommerce engine with full control over their business. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and responsive design frameworks, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie settings, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear comprehensive, indicating awareness of GDPR compliance. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which slightly diminishes overall trust. No adult or questionable content is present, making the site safe for general audiences.

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

3 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
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

MerchantPro operates in the eCommerce SaaS sector, providing essential services such as online shop creation, marketplace setup, multi-store management, and B2B eCommerce capabilities. Its business model revolves around subscription-based SaaS offerings, targeting small to medium-sized merchants globally, with a notable presence in the United States. The company leverages a strong brand with consistent messaging and trust signals like uptime guarantees and 24/7 support. Marketing efforts include affiliate programs and integration with major analytics and tracking platforms. The lack of visible direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on self-service and digital engagement. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy. Overall, MerchantPro appears well-positioned in the competitive eCommerce platform market with a mature product and established customer base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie attributes set. Use of asynchronous loading for tracking scripts reduces performance impact and potential security risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern from a trust and legitimacy perspective, as it impedes verification of domain ownership and increases risk of impersonation or fraud. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers and clearer security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security contact email or security.txt file.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Make direct contact information (email, phone) more accessible on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and SVG icons for scalable graphics. The site is hosted on HTTPS with secure cookie settings, indicating good baseline security. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and minimal blocking resources. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links. Accessibility is addressed with semantic HTML and responsive layouts. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of visible CMS or hosting provider information suggest areas for technical improvement. The missing WHOIS data is a technical anomaly that should be addressed to avoid trust issues.
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.
