Risk levelMedium

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

Skarule is a small Latvian fashion brand specializing in apparel and accessories inspired by Baltic nostalgia and traditional Latvian crafts. The company operates primarily through an e-commerce platform powered by Shopify, complemented by a showroom presence. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting fashion consumers interested in unique, culturally inspired clothing. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Mailchimp for marketing and tracking, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure forms, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, with room for improvement in security and privacy practices.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Skarule positions itself as a niche fashion retailer emphasizing cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Its business model centers on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales supplemented by showroom experiences. The brand targets consumers valuing artisanal and nostalgic fashion elements. The company benefits from European regional development grants, indicating some governmental support and legitimacy. Its partnership with Selfridges suggests a degree of market recognition. The use of Shopify streamlines operations but also indicates reliance on third-party platforms. Growth potential exists in expanding digital marketing and enhancing compliance to build consumer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which may hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR indicators. The site uses secure forms with opt-in for terms acceptance, which is positive. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding verified contact phone numbers and physical address to increase business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging its e-commerce capabilities and hosting. It uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Barba.js for page transitions and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking and Mailchimp for newsletter management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and lazy loading techniques. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image delivery and script loading. Accessibility features are basic, with skip links present but no advanced ARIA roles detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be enhanced with structured data markup. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small retail site but could benefit from further modernization and security hardening.
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.
