Risk levelMedium

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

NorthernGrip is a small Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in vintage clothing for men and women, emphasizing sustainability and minimalist Scandinavian style. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Impulse theme and integrates various marketing and analytics tools such as Klaviyo, Loox, and Microsoft Clarity. The site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a basic level of privacy compliance. However, explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages were not detected in the provided content, which may affect user trust and regulatory compliance. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy assessment. Overall, the website presents a professional and consistent brand image with good technical implementation but could improve in security headers and privacy disclosures.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • 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

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

NorthernGrip operates in the niche vintage clothing retail sector with a focus on sustainable fashion, targeting environmentally conscious consumers in Latvia and potentially broader European markets. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Shopify, leveraging third-party marketing and review apps to enhance customer engagement. The absence of detailed company registration or contact information on the site suggests a small-scale operation. The integration of multiple marketing tools indicates an active approach to customer acquisition and retention. The website's multilingual support and currency options hint at ambitions for international reach. No suspicious or unrelated domains were found linked, supporting a focused business ecosystem.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent banner, indicating attention to basic security and privacy practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of reputable third-party services like Shopify and Klaviyo provides a baseline of security, but improvements in header configurations and published policies are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly review third-party app integrations to ensure no security or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Impulse theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, CSS custom properties, and asynchronous script loading for performance optimization. Multiple Shopify apps and third-party services are integrated for marketing automation, customer reviews, cookie consent management, and analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and security header implementation. The technical infrastructure is robust for a small e-commerce business but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy disclosures to meet higher compliance standards.
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.
