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

The company positions itself as a key player in the Canadian footwear retail market, focusing on quality and fashion. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce supported by retail partnerships (store locator). The use of Judge.me for reviews and multiple marketing tools suggests a focus on customer engagement and conversion optimization. The absence of explicit privacy and terms policies on the homepage may indicate areas for compliance improvement. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain locking via EPP statuses, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information, which are gaps in security transparency. The site uses reputable third-party scripts but should regularly audit these for vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Stiletto theme version 3.2.1, with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Judge.me. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN with DNS managed via Cloudflare, providing good performance and availability. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are good, though accessibility features are basic. The site uses asynchronous loading for many scripts, improving load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for accessibility 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.
