Security report for nordicnest.com

Nordic Nest · Retail · Sweden

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

81/100

Risk levelLow

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

Nordic Nest is an established online retailer specializing in Scandinavian interior design products, offering a wide range of furniture, lighting, tableware, and home accessories from over 250 Scandinavian brands. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting consumers worldwide interested in Scandinavian design. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data and contact information slightly reduces business credibility but does not negate the overall legitimacy of the site. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult content detected.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

Nordic Nest operates in the retail and e-commerce sector, focusing on Scandinavian design products. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, leveraging a broad assortment of well-known Scandinavian brands to attract design-conscious customers globally. The company has a medium-sized market presence with a history dating back to 2002. The website emphasizes trust signals such as a 60-day return policy and Trusted Shops rating. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized brands and a cookie consent provider. Growth indicators include frequent new arrivals and seasonal promotions. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. However, there is a lack of visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing additional security headers like Content Security Policy and publishing explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  2. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website footer or about section.
  4. Provide verified company contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS information to ensure domain registration data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookie Information for consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected in the HTML content. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Accessibility features are basic but present, including focus management in modals. The site could improve by adding more semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks for enhanced accessibility.
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.
