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

SAIO is a small ecommerce service provider specializing in Shopify development, offering custom themes, live webshop tweaks, and app development. The company positions itself as an industry leader trusted by thousands of shop owners worldwide. The website is built on Squarespace, leveraging standard web technologies and Google Analytics for tracking. The technical infrastructure is modern and mobile-optimized, though performance is moderate. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is incomplete and privacy-protected, which limits transparency but is common for small businesses. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for improvement in security and compliance documentation.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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

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

SAIO targets ecommerce businesses and Shopify shop owners globally, providing specialized development services. The business model is service-based, focusing on customization and app development for Shopify platforms. Market positioning is strong within its niche, supported by a professional web presence and contact accessibility via email. The company operates from Denmark, but no detailed company registration or physical address is provided. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website. Growth indicators include a clear call to action for new clients and a focus on industry leadership. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based Shopify development services.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating basic security and privacy awareness. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate tracking but no known vulnerabilities. The incomplete WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security maturity is basic with opportunities to enhance defenses and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights.
  5. Improve WHOIS transparency if possible or provide company registration details on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace CMS, utilizing modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses Typekit fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to third-party scripts and hosting on Squarespace. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. Technical risks are low but could be improved by optimizing performance and enhancing security headers.
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.
