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

Sea, New York is a small, niche contemporary fashion brand specializing in women's apparel and accessories, operating primarily through an e-commerce platform hosted on Shopify. The brand emphasizes classic silhouettes with unique fabric choices, targeting fashion-conscious consumers seeking a blend of romantic and boyish styles. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and good user experience, optimized for mobile devices and accessibility. Technically, the site leverages a modern tech stack including Shopify, Bootstrap, and various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Klaviyo. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain registration consistent with business claims; however, explicit security headers and formal security policies are not evident. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible privacy and terms of service documentation. Overall, the site presents a moderate risk profile with room for improvement in transparency and security best practices.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

  3. 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.

  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

The company operates in the competitive fashion e-commerce sector, focusing on curated collections that blend classic and technical fabric elements. Its market positioning is that of a boutique brand with a loyal customer base. Revenue streams are primarily from online retail sales of apparel and accessories. The use of multiple marketing and retargeting tools indicates an active digital marketing strategy. The absence of direct contact information on the site may limit customer trust and support responsiveness. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify as the platform provider and various advertising networks. Growth indicators include a mature domain age and consistent branding. Strategic observations suggest enhancing customer trust by publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies and improving contact accessibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. The presence of cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which may hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to prevent supply chain risks. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is partial, primarily via cookie consent, but lacks full transparency. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email and phone for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate supply chain risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, leveraging Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for client-side interactions. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Klaviyo, Rakuten Advertising, and AdRoll, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting is provided by Bluehost Inc., consistent with the domain registrar. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage. Accessibility features include ARIA roles and screen reader support. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but the site could improve by consolidating third-party scripts and enhancing security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and scalable e-commerce operation.
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.
