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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

      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

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

Spreadshop occupies a significant niche in the e-commerce print-on-demand market, targeting creators and businesses seeking low-risk merchandising solutions. Its business model eliminates upfront costs by printing products only upon order, allowing users to set their own profit margins. The platform's integration capabilities with Shopify, WooCommerce, and social media channels provide competitive advantages by enabling seamless sales across multiple channels. The presence of certifications and a strong social media footprint indicate a well-established brand with growth potential. The company also offers services tailored for agencies, expanding its market reach. The lack of explicit founding year or parent company data suggests a focus on brand rather than corporate structure in public materials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could be areas for improvement. Overall, the platform appears secure for users and business operations, with room to enhance communication on security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact information to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and CDN delivery for optimal performance. The use of BigContent CMS by Amplience indicates a scalable content management approach. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with structured metadata supporting SEO. JavaScript libraries and scripts are deferred to improve load times. Cookie consent and tracking are managed via OneTrust and Adobe Analytics, balancing user privacy with marketing needs. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts.
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.
