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

Mextrade Official is a UK-based wholesale supplier specializing in authentic Mexican food ingredients, targeting restaurants, chefs, and food businesses across the UK. The company offers fresh corn tortillas made locally and a range of traditional Mexican products. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrated marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Judge.me for customer reviews. The digital infrastructure reflects a moderate to good level of technical maturity with responsive design and standard SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and Shopify's built-in security features, although explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to enhance trust and regulatory adherence. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for a niche retail business in the food wholesale sector.

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.

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 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

Mextrade occupies a specialized niche in the UK market as a wholesale distributor of Mexican food ingredients, catering primarily to professional food service providers. The business model focuses on B2B wholesale supply, with a product range emphasizing authenticity and freshness, such as UK-made corn tortillas. The company's longevity since 2009 suggests stable operations. Integration with loyalty and marketing platforms indicates an active approach to customer engagement and retention. The absence of detailed contact information and formal policies on the website may limit customer confidence and compliance readiness. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify as the e-commerce platform and third-party services for marketing and reviews, supporting operational efficiency and customer feedback management.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's robust security infrastructure, including enforced HTTPS, standard security headers, and protection against common web vulnerabilities. Tracking and marketing scripts are implemented responsibly without exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, the lack of visible security policies, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and incident response contacts represents a gap in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial, with no explicit GDPR statements or cookie consent mechanisms detected, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is solid technically but could be improved by adding formal policies and communication channels related to security and privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Add visible contact information including company email and phone number for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details to enhance security transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Opportunities exist to enhance privacy compliance and security policy visibility to align with best practices.
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.
