SIA Paulas Cutters · E-commerce · Latvia

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

SIA Paulas Cutters operates an e-commerce website specializing in polymer clay cutters, targeting hobbyists and crafters. The business is relatively new, founded in 2023, and operates primarily through the Shopify platform. The website presents a focused product offering with a clean and consistent brand identity. Technical infrastructure leverages Shopify's robust e-commerce capabilities, including multi-currency support and integration with various marketing and analytics tools. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate for a small online store. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks advanced DNS security and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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. 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 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 company positions itself in a niche e-commerce market selling polymer clay cutters, likely catering to a small but dedicated customer base. The business model is direct online retail via Shopify, with integrations for loyalty programs and currency conversion to support international customers. The lack of detailed contact information and policies suggests a small operation possibly run by a limited team. Marketing efforts include retargeting and customer engagement tools, indicating an intent to grow customer loyalty. The domain registration aligns with the business age and scope, supporting legitimacy. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers or updates, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security maturity. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The presence of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface and tracking footprint. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities in the scanned content. Security score is moderate but can be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  4. Add visible and verified contact information including email and phone to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing its native CMS and e-commerce platform features. It integrates multiple third-party services for marketing, analytics, loyalty, and currency conversion. The site loads asynchronously many scripts to optimize performance but could benefit from further optimization. Mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility are present but could be enhanced. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD for rich snippets. Hosting is via Google Cloud infrastructure through Shopify, ensuring reliable uptime and scalability. Technical debt appears low given the modern platform but security and privacy implementations need strengthening.
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.
