Risk levelMedium

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

Plants to the Rescue is a small e-commerce business specializing in 100% organic herbal tinctures that blend Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western Herbalism wisdom. The company targets health-conscious consumers seeking clean, vegan, and non-GMO wellness products. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Broadcast theme, indicating a modern and scalable technical infrastructure. The site integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Klaviyo and Judge.me to support customer engagement and reviews. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy e-commerce presence but should improve privacy disclosures and security best practices to enhance compliance and customer trust.

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. 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

  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 niche organic herbal tincture market, leveraging traditional medicine knowledge to differentiate its products. Its e-commerce model is direct-to-consumer via Shopify, supported by social media marketing on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest. The company appears to be recently founded in 2022, consistent with the domain registration date. The use of Judge.me for customer reviews and Klaviyo for email marketing indicates a focus on customer experience and retention. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent small business. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies may limit customer confidence and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved by implementing standard security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Add clear contact information including support email and phone number to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact details.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
