Security score

80/100

Risk levelLow

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

Mikaste is a small e-commerce business specializing in sustainable Japandi Nordic cat furniture, targeting environmentally conscious cat owners primarily in Europe. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Judge.me for customer reviews and Trustpilot for reputation management. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with fast performance, mobile optimization, and proper SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data and explicit contact information slightly reduces business credibility. Overall, Mikaste presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a niche market focus.

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

2 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

  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 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

Mikaste operates in the niche market of sustainable cat furniture, combining Nordic design aesthetics with eco-friendly materials. Their business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supported by free express shipping across Europe and the USA. The company maintains an active social media presence across multiple platforms, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. The use of Shopify and integrated review and trust systems suggests a focus on customer experience and reputation. The lack of detailed company registration or contact information on the site may indicate a small or newly established business. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary relationships. The business appears to be focused on growth within the sustainable pet furniture segment.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies demonstrate compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Third-party scripts from trusted providers are used, but continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate risks from external dependencies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance visibility of company contact information to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Sense theme, incorporating modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, CSS3, and HTML5. It integrates multiple third-party services such as Judge.me for reviews, Trustpilot for reputation management, and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. The site uses CDN hosting via Shopify, ensuring fast content delivery and global availability. Performance is optimized with deferred and async script loading, preconnect hints, and font-display swap for web fonts. Accessibility features and responsive design are implemented, providing a good user experience across devices. Technical debt appears minimal, but continuous updates and security reviews are advisable to maintain platform integrity.
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.
