Risk levelMedium

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

Spell B.V. operates an e-commerce website specializing in sustainable, bespoke wooden furniture designed for modern remote working environments. The company targets professionals, architects, interior designers, and private customers seeking premium home and workplace furniture solutions. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, ensuring a modern, responsive, and performant user experience. Technical infrastructure leverages Shopify's CDN and includes security measures such as HTTPS and hCaptcha for form protection. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. The site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as explicit contact information, which impacts privacy compliance and business credibility scores. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 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 company positions itself in a niche market of remote working furniture with a focus on sustainability and premium materials. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Shopify, with a secondary professional channel linked to a partner domain. The product catalog includes integrated technology features like wireless charging and cable management, appealing to tech-savvy customers. The presence of social media channels supports brand engagement. The lack of detailed business contact info and WHOIS transparency suggests a need for improved trust signals to support growth and partnerships.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to mitigate spam and bot submissions on forms, indicating a baseline security posture. No explicit security headers were detected in the HTML, though Shopify likely manages some at the server level. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the source. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness visibility. Recommendations include publishing security headers, a security.txt file, and clear incident response contacts to enhance security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add clear contact information including company email and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and customer trust.
  3. Obtain and publish WHOIS domain registration details or ensure domain registration data is publicly accessible to improve legitimacy.
  4. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and web fonts. It uses Shopify's CDN for hosting static assets, ensuring fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Analytics and marketing tools are integrated via Shopify apps and Google Analytics. The technical implementation is solid with no visible errors or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation.
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.
