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

3 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 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
    • 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 business operates within the retail sector, focusing on home appliances and personal care products. Its e-commerce model is supported by Shopify, enabling scalability and integration with multiple marketing and analytics services. The presence of active and paused A/B tests indicates a data-driven approach to user experience optimization. Social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok support brand engagement. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT details on the site is typical for retail e-commerce but could be enhanced for transparency. The company appears well-established in the Australian market with a consistent brand presentation and professional content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and secure cookie attributes, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Use of CAPTCHA on forms and absence of exposed sensitive data further strengthen security. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for comprehensive security governance and customer trust. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected. Recommendations include adding explicit security documentation and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Provide incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing its CDN and e-commerce capabilities. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Shoplift for A/B testing, and influencer form builders. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, with modern JavaScript and CSS assets loaded asynchronously or deferred to improve load times. Structured data in JSON-LD format enhances SEO and rich snippet eligibility. Technical debt appears minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to maintain security and performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust 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.
