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

porkbun.shop is an e-commerce website currently in a 'Coming Soon' state, hosted on the Shopify platform. The site offers a newsletter signup form to notify visitors of upcoming promotions and product launches. The business model is typical of online retail stores leveraging Shopify's infrastructure. The website is password protected and lacks substantive content or business information at this time, indicating it is not yet operational. Technically, the site uses Shopify's Debut theme and standard JavaScript libraries, including CryptoJS and Shopify's own analytics and pixel tracking scripts. However, the site suffers from a critical security issue: the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, resulting in no HTTPS support. This severely impacts the security posture and trustworthiness of the site. Performance is slow with a large page size and many resource requests, and SEO and accessibility optimizations are basic. Security-wise, the site has minimal protections beyond HSTS being enabled. There is no valid SSL certificate, no modern TLS protocols enabled, and no OCSP stapling or session resumption. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The site collects email addresses via a newsletter form but lacks GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website is in an early stage of development with significant security and compliance gaps. The lack of HTTPS is a critical issue that must be addressed before launch. Strategic recommendations include obtaining a valid SSL certificate, implementing privacy and cookie policies, improving performance, and enhancing security headers and compliance measures.

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.

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 is positioned as a small e-commerce retailer preparing to launch. It leverages Shopify's platform for ease of setup and scalability. The target audience is general online shoppers interested in the products porkbun.shop will offer. The business model is direct-to-consumer retail with marketing efforts focused on email promotions. No parent company or subsidiaries are identified. The partnership with Shopify is a key enabler. Growth indicators are not visible due to the site's pre-launch status. The marketing ecosystem includes social media sharing and Shopify's analytics tools.

Security posture

The current security maturity is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS. This exposes visitors to risks such as data interception and undermines trust. The site does not implement common security headers beyond HSTS, and no advanced protections like CSP or X-Frame-Options are detected. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices are minimal, with no GDPR compliance signals. The use of third-party scripts without clear vulnerability management is a potential risk. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvement before the site can be considered secure for customers.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Optimize website performance by reducing page size and resource count to improve user experience.
  5. Establish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Debut theme and standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS. It integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and product customization. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN with DNS records managed by Porkbun and Cloudflare MX for email. The site suffers from slow load times and a large page size, indicating potential technical debt or unoptimized assets. The SSL configuration is critically flawed with no valid certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, which is a major technical risk. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, and mobile optimization is minimal. The technical infrastructure is typical for a Shopify store but requires urgent security and performance 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.
