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

4 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"

    • 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

  3. 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

SeedGrow operates in the e-commerce sector, specifically targeting Shopify store owners with apps that simplify customization and improve sales. Their business model is SaaS-based, selling apps through Shopify's app store and their own website. The company demonstrates consistent branding and client trust through testimonials and social media presence. Partnerships with Shopify and related WooCommerce plugin providers indicate a strategic ecosystem approach. The domain age and registration details align with the company's founding date, supporting legitimacy. Growth indicators include active blog content and multiple product offerings.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. No security.txt or incident response policies are found, which could improve transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are detected in the HTML content. Security headers are not explicitly visible but likely present given the HTTPS setup. Overall, the security posture is good for a small business but could be enhanced with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly disclose a formal security policy and incident response plan.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and display security headers explicitly to strengthen security posture.

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, jQuery, Bootstrap, and other JavaScript libraries like Flickity for sliders. SEO is enhanced with Rank Math plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and deferred scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries are evident. Hosting provider is not identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional ecommerce app marketing site.
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.
