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. 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 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

Bold Commerce operates in the competitive ecommerce technology sector, focusing on payment integration and checkout optimization. Their business model is primarily B2B SaaS, targeting payment companies, ecommerce merchants, and developers. The company has established partnerships and a broad product portfolio including Shopify apps and integrations with Magento, Adobe Commerce, and OpenCart. Their market positioning is strong due to their unique offering of a single integration for multiple platforms, reducing complexity for payment providers. The presence of a bug bounty program and trust/security pages indicates a proactive approach to security and compliance. Growth indicators include active content marketing, webinars, blogs, and a visible affiliate program. The company’s Canadian base and domain age since 2014 support a stable operational history.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. The bug bounty program and dedicated trust and security page demonstrate commitment to security best practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a visible cookie consent mechanism are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or WHOIS data. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts suggests a need for ongoing privacy management. Incident response readiness is implied by the bug bounty and security pages, though no explicit security contact emails were found. Overall, the security posture is strong with minor gaps in privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider publishing Data Protection Officer contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It uses Typekit for fonts and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Hotjar, Twitter Ads, and ZoomInfo Pixel. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with preloading of CSS and deferred JavaScript loading. The technical stack is well-chosen for scalability and maintainability, though the lack of DNSSEC is a minor technical debt. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and high-quality user experience.
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.
