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

5 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

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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
    • 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

The business model is focused on SaaS offerings within the Shopify ecosystem, generating revenue through app and theme sales or subscriptions. The company maintains partnerships with Shopify and related service providers, as evidenced by external links to Shopify app stores and theme marketplaces. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital-first customer engagement approach. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active use of marketing tools. The company appears to be a startup or newly launched entity with a focused product portfolio.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, indicating a baseline security posture. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing areas for improvement. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency and responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide direct contact information such as support emails or phone numbers to improve trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Adoric, Pop Convert, and EComposer. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN with Cloudflare DNS. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business model, though some technical debt exists in missing security headers and lack of privacy compliance features.
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.
