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

Rainbow-yarn.com is a small e-commerce business specializing in the sale of T-shirt yarn, dyed yarn, leather handbag supplies, basket bottoms and tops, fittings for bags, polyester cords, and hooks. The website targets craft enthusiasts and DIY hobbyists, offering a niche product catalog with multiple categories and subcategories. The business was founded in 2020 and operates primarily in Latvia. The website is built on the OpenCart platform and uses a variety of modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and lazy loading for images. Social login via Facebook is integrated to enhance user experience. From a technical perspective, the website demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but present with meta tags and Open Graph data. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and social login secured via OAuth; however, there are gaps such as lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of privacy and terms of service pages. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the domain registration data is consistent and appropriate for the business. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve its compliance and security posture by adding privacy policies, security headers, and DNSSEC. The business credibility is supported by clear contact information and a consistent brand presence. There is no adult or questionable content, making it safe for general audiences.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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

Rainbow-yarn.com occupies a niche market in the crafting supplies sector, focusing on yarn and related products. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized product offerings and a clear online presence. The business model is straightforward e-commerce retail with direct sales through the website. Revenue streams are primarily product sales. The target customer segment includes knitters, handbag makers, and craft hobbyists. Growth indicators include a well-structured product catalog and social login integration. The partnership ecosystem includes Facebook for social login and JivoSite for live chat support. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for growth through enhanced privacy compliance and security improvements to build greater customer trust.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and social login uses Facebook OAuth, which is a positive security practice. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks. No privacy or security policies are published, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Forms lack visible anti-CSRF tokens, increasing risk of cross-site request forgery. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not disclosed. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from implementing standard security best practices and compliance documentation to enhance its security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and customer trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Add anti-CSRF tokens to all forms to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
  5. Establish and publish incident response contact information and procedures to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and widely adopted e-commerce platform (OpenCart) with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI enhancement libraries. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and product categorization. However, there is room for improvement in technical SEO and accessibility. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the domain registrar is GoDaddy. No advanced CDN or security services like WAF are detected. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce operational risks.
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.
