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 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

NPR Shop occupies a niche market as the official merchandise provider for NPR, leveraging the strong NPR brand and loyal audience. The partnership with NPR Wine Club indicates a broader ecosystem of NPR-affiliated services. Revenue streams are primarily from merchandise sales, supported by marketing automation and analytics to optimize customer engagement. The site’s recent domain registration aligns with its business launch timeline. The use of privacy protection for domain registration is standard and justified. The business benefits from consistent branding and clear contact information, enhancing customer trust and credibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS, domain status locks, and privacy policies. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for marketing and analytics, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and enhancing accessibility compliance to further strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on a mature e-commerce platform (nopCommerce) with integration of modern marketing and analytics tools such as Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. The site uses standard web fonts and responsive design. Some technical debt may exist due to multiple external scripts, but overall the infrastructure supports a stable and professional e-commerce experience. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance accessibility.
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.
