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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
  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

Onstate operates in the ecommerce sector as a Shopify Plus agency, targeting medium-sized ecommerce businesses requiring advanced Shopify solutions. Their market position as a Shopify Platinum Partner provides a competitive advantage and trust signal. Revenue streams likely include design, development, migration, optimization, and ongoing support services. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem with Shopify and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms to support client campaigns. Growth indicators include recent case studies and active social media presence. The business model focuses on high-value, complex ecommerce projects, emphasizing bespoke integrations and scalability. Strategic observations highlight a focus on challenging ecommerce problems and a transparent, client-focused approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not published, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security issue reporting and management.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and integrations to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file at the root domain to provide clear security contact information for researchers and stakeholders.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify Plus platform, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Klaviyo, and LinkedIn Insight Tag for marketing and analytics. The site uses jQuery and custom JavaScript for interactivity, including a secure contact form with asynchronous submission. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and optimized images. Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive design and adaptive images. Accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML are present, contributing to a good user experience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS other than Shopify is detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with room for security header improvements.
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.
