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

ProtoArc positions itself in a niche market focusing on ergonomic and wellness-oriented workspace peripherals, differentiating through foldable and travel-friendly designs. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, utilizing Shopify's platform for sales and marketing. The company employs multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and customer reviews, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for contact forms, which may impact customer trust and support responsiveness. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which could be due to privacy protection or registration issues, warranting monitoring. Partnerships with affiliate networks like ShareASale and advertising on major platforms such as Google and Facebook support growth and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and standard security headers in place. Use of CAPTCHA on forms and privacy-compliant cookie consent mechanisms further enhance security and privacy. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The presence of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by publishing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure programs.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and support.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Flickity for sliders and various analytics and marketing integrations including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and VWO. Hosting is on Google Cloud Platform in Europe, supporting good performance and compliance with regional data regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses lazy loading for images to improve load times. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure is solid with room for enhancements in security transparency and accessibility compliance.
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.
