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

ShopClimb is a small business specializing in developing Shopify apps aimed at helping Shopify store owners increase their revenue through trust-building and sales conversion tools. Their product suite includes apps like Trust Badge, Ultimate Product Icons, and Automatic Discounts Pro, targeting a broad range of Shopify merchants from startups to high-traffic stores. The website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery and Slider Revolution, and integrates Google Analytics and Zendesk for analytics and customer support respectively. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communication. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates room for improvement in security hardening. Privacy and cookie policies are not present, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image with good content quality and user experience but lacks some critical privacy and security features.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

ShopClimb operates in the e-commerce sector, focusing on Shopify app development with a SaaS business model. Their market position is niche but well-defined, targeting Shopify store owners who want to increase trust and sales. The company was founded in 2018, consistent with the domain registration date. They leverage partnerships with Shopify and Zendesk for app distribution and customer support. The business model relies on app sales and possibly subscriptions. Customer testimonials and integration with Shopify's app store enhance credibility. The company maintains a US-based team, emphasizing local support. The website content and structure suggest a focus on ease of use and quick setup for customers, which is a competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduce the overall security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, indicating limited transparency in security practices. The use of third-party services like Google Analytics and Zendesk introduces additional attack surfaces but is common for this type of business. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a standard and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics for tracking and Zendesk for customer support. Hosting is behind Cloudflare DNS, which provides DNS management and CDN services. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No forms are present on the homepage, limiting data collection points. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved privacy compliance.
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.
