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

MuzeMerch operates as an e-commerce platform specializing in official merchandise for established zoos, aquariums, museums, science centers, and related venues. The website offers a broad range of products including gifts, apparel, toys, and collectibles, targeting consumers interested in supporting wildlife conservation and cultural institutions. The platform positions itself as a niche market leader by partnering with reputable venues and providing branded merchandise that supports these organizations. Technically, the website is built on the Magento platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Klaviyo for marketing and analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, clear navigation, and professional design quality. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it reduces trustworthiness and raises questions about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences, but would benefit from enhanced transparency regarding domain registration and security policies.

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 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 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

MuzeMerch's business model centers on e-commerce retail of branded merchandise for cultural and conservation venues, generating revenue through product sales. The company targets consumers who value supporting zoos, aquariums, museums, and science centers, leveraging partnerships with these institutions to offer exclusive products. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official partnerships and curated product offerings that appeal to niche audiences. Marketing efforts include integration with major analytics and advertising platforms, enabling targeted campaigns and retargeting. The absence of explicit company contact information and WHOIS data suggests a need for improved transparency to bolster customer trust. The partnership ecosystem is extensive, featuring numerous well-known venues, which supports growth and market presence. Strategic observations include opportunities to enhance trust signals by publishing detailed business and security information.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, aligning with basic privacy compliance requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs limits transparency and preparedness perception. The domain's missing WHOIS data is a significant concern, as it impairs trust and may indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security documentation, and clarifying domain ownership.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure transparency and legitimacy, reducing suspicion and improving trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance with evolving privacy regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Magento e-commerce platform, utilizing RequireJS for JavaScript module loading and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics (Universal and GA4), Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, StackAdapt advertising, and Klaviyo marketing automation. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript techniques, with responsive design for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved accessibility compliance. No critical technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional e-commerce experience with room for security and compliance enhancements.
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.
