81/100

Risk levelLow

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

Red Wheel / Weiser operates a specialized online bookstore focusing on spirituality, occult, esoteric, and personal growth literature. Established in 2001, it serves a niche market with a medium-sized e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, targeting readers interested in these specialized topics. Technically, the site leverages a modern WordPress ecosystem with multiple plugins for search, menu management, and analytics, hosted with GoDaddy domain registration and Cloudflare DNS services. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status locks, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is basic with a GDPR cookie banner but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but could improve in privacy transparency and security hardening.

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. 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 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. 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

The company holds a strong position in the niche market of spiritual and occult book retail, leveraging its long domain age and consistent branding. Revenue streams are primarily from online book sales, supported by newsletter subscriptions and wishlist/cart features enhancing customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter for marketing. The business model is straightforward e-commerce with a focus on specialized content. Growth indicators include active new releases and coming soon book sections. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy policies and security disclosures to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could be exploited. The Google Analytics plugin is installed but not fully configured, which may lead to incomplete tracking or data leakage risks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating a potential compliance gap. The GDPR cookie compliance plugin is active, showing awareness of privacy regulations but lacking comprehensive privacy documentation. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, header implementation, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Complete configuration or removal of unused analytics plugins to avoid unnecessary data exposure.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues to enhance transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and WPBakery Page Builder. Hosting and DNS are managed via GoDaddy and Cloudflare respectively, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with caching and minification plugins active. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low, though some plugins like MonsterInsights are not fully configured, indicating room for optimization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and privacy 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.
