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

Painteco.com is an e-commerce website specializing in natural linseed oil coatings for wood, targeting consumers and professionals interested in eco-friendly wood treatment products. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging common e-commerce technologies and third-party apps such as Judge.me for customer reviews and Langify for multilingual support. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and a consistent brand presence, although it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance scores. Technically, the website uses modern web standards and Shopify's infrastructure, ensuring reliable hosting and SSL encryption. However, the absence of security headers and explicit privacy mechanisms suggests room for improvement in security posture and regulatory compliance. No WAF or content blocking was detected, indicating full accessibility. From a security perspective, the site benefits from Shopify's platform security and HTTPS but should enhance its security headers and publish clear privacy and incident response policies. The lack of contact information and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, Painteco.com is a legitimate small business with a stable domain and a focused market niche. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and contact transparency would enhance its trust and security profile.

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. 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

  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 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 operates in the retail and e-commerce sector, focusing on natural wood coatings. Founded in 2014, it serves a niche market with eco-friendly products. The website supports Latvian, German, and English languages, indicating a regional European focus. The business model is direct-to-consumer online sales via Shopify. The presence of customer reviews via Judge.me suggests active customer engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company leverages third-party apps for multilingual support and marketing labels, indicating a moderate digital maturity level.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, hosted on Shopify's secure platform. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Forms and inputs appear standard but no explicit security measures like CAPTCHA or anti-bot protections were identified. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, indicates compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Include clear and accessible contact information such as company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using Liquid templating, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It integrates third-party apps for reviews (Judge.me), multilingual support (Langify), and marketing labels (Lably). Hosting is via Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable performance and SSL encryption. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and styles. However, the site lacks some accessibility features and SEO optimizations such as ARIA roles and structured data beyond basic Open Graph tags. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and 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.
