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

Minted is a prominent e-commerce platform specializing in premium wedding invitations, stationery, personalized gifts, and art prints sourced from a community of independent artists. The company targets consumers seeking unique and artistically designed products, positioning itself as a leader in the online stationery and gift marketplace. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, with excellent design quality, clear navigation, and comprehensive content relevant to its business model. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, AWS Cloudfront CDN, and third-party personalization and analytics tools such as Monetate and Grafana Faro Web SDK. The site is optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, Minted employs HTTPS with strong SSL configurations and standard security headers. While explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed, the site shows adherence to best practices including bot protection and privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Minted presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy or registry limitations rather than malicious intent. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.

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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Minted operates as a large-scale e-commerce marketplace connecting independent artists with consumers seeking premium stationery and personalized gifts. Its competitive advantage lies in unique artist-sourced designs and a broad product portfolio including wedding invitations, holiday cards, and wall art. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales via an online platform, supported by personalization and marketing technologies. Minted's target customers are primarily individuals planning weddings or seeking unique gifts. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and trust signals such as privacy policies and secure transactions. Growth indicators include extensive product options and integration of advanced analytics. Partnerships with technology providers like Monetate and Grafana support its marketing and operational capabilities.

Security posture

Minted demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, robust SSL configuration, and standard security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. The use of reCAPTCHA and session tracking indicates attention to bot mitigation and user session security. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers by adding or confirming Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing AWS Cloudfront for content delivery and leveraging JavaScript-based frameworks for dynamic content rendering. Integration with Monetate enables personalized user experiences, while Grafana Faro Web SDK provides advanced analytics and monitoring capabilities. The site is optimized for fast loading times and mobile responsiveness, with preconnect hints to critical asset domains. The technical implementation reflects a mature approach with attention to performance, SEO, and accessibility standards. Opportunities exist to further document and automate security and compliance processes to reduce technical debt and enhance operational resilience.
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.
