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

Quintal targets artists, designers, publishers, and bookstores interested in micro-editions and risography printing. Its business model combines print services with retail sales and educational workshops, positioning it as a niche artisanal player in the print and publishing sector. The company has a small size and a recent founding date (2020), with a clear focus on quality and craftsmanship. The website supports multiple languages (French and English) and integrates social media channels to engage its audience. The domain registration and hosting are consistent with the business profile, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. Cookie consent is implemented, and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the site content. The use of Shopify's secure platform and payment integrations adds to the security strength. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional headers and formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Consider adding a clearly labeled phone contact number to improve customer trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, employing modern JavaScript modules and Shopify's analytics and payment tools. Hosting is via Shopify CDN with domain registration through OVH sas. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses multiple external scripts for analytics, payment, and tracking, including Facebook Pixel and Shopify's Trekkie. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation could be improved.
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.
